I don’t know, I doubt these recorders are made by the aircraft companies.

Aren’t they mostly self-contained units, and just connected to aircraft power to maintain their batteries?

I’m a lot more suspicious.

Their power supply comes from the plane so they stopped recording because power delivery was not designed faile safe. Now guess who designed the power supply?
