Ouya Repair

The Ouya is a small TV console running a custom version of the Android operating system. It received its original funding for development from Kickstarter, and set the record as the second-highest earner at $8.5 million.

The project was founded in 2012, and first-run units began shipping in March of 2013, and general public release was on June 25, 2013. The Ouya store featured various casual games, however the system also featured various media apps such as Twitch and the Kodi media center.

Ouya ran a custom version of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, with rooting being officially encouraged by the Ouya company. The console was also designed to be easy to open, with only four Hex screws needing to be removed to get access to the board.

Despite the initial success of its Kickstarter campaign, the Ouya ultimately failed commercially. Sales fell short of expectations, resulting in the sale of approximately 200,000 units worldwide before its discontinuation in 2015. For comparison, Sony’s PlayStation 4, launched in the same year, sold 25 million units within the first two years. Additionally, the lack of support from game developers and failed promotion of the console contributed to financial difficulties for the Ouya company.

Ouya was forced sell its assets to Razer Inc, and the console was officially discontinued in July of 2015. Support for the console existed up to June of 2019.
