I don't think they'll care about this. Probably only 1% of their customers are capable of "hacking" this. As long as the tablet replace is cheaper than getting a new AC unit from another company it's fine for them.

Not even 1%.

It would be interesting if someone already in AC repair made it part of their business though. That's when you'd see the teeth come out.

Until someone decides to sell their fix at a cheaper price. Then lawyers will get involved and everyone will end up unhappy.
