|---|---|
| + | [* black] [guide|10803|No surprises here|stepid=38850], the iPod Touch 5th Generation 16 GB Repairability: ***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. |
