Two of the electronic boards inside the camera are not functioning properly, and the firmware/software in the camera has been corrupted. Any personnel that work on the camera must be experts on this particular model of camera. They must essentially know everything there is to know about the hardware, software/firmware, and inner-workings of the camera to be able to properly diagnose and repair the camera. Anyone without this level experience will not be able to properly diagnose/repair the camera and could potentially cause more damage to the camera if maintenance is not performed properly. The camera is a sensitive piece of equipment requiring very specialized expertise to repair. As the designer and manufacturer of the camera, FLIR is authorized to work on the camera. Any other company would have to prove/demonstrate that they have the expertise necessary, as described in the paragraph above, to perform the work on the camera before they would be authorized to work on it. As the designer and manufacturer of the camera, FLIR has access to genuine parts to repair the camera. It is unknown if any other company would have access to genuine parts because there may be proprietary rights to some of the genuine parts owned by FLIR.
