-[* black] Insert wisdom here.
+[* black] No surprises here, the iPod Touch 5th Generation 16 GB [guide|10803|still scores|stepid=38850]: ***3 out of 10*** (10 is easiest to repair).
+[* green] While very difficult, opening the case and replacing components is not impossible.
+[* green] The battery is flanked by notches that make prying it out of the rear case fairly easy.
+[* red] Many components are soldered together, requiring either a very difficult or very expensive repair if any one part breaks.
+[* red] The Touch has no external screws. Instead, a combo of clips and adhesive makes it difficult to open the case.
+[* red] Cables connected to the logic board run over the top and connect on the bottom, making it difficult to remove the board or disconnect the cables.
