[* black] Kindle Fire HD 2013 Repairability Score: ***8 out of 10*** (10 is easiest to repair).
[* green] Simplistic, modular design means the few components that might fail can be easily, inexpensively replaced.
[* green] All the fasteners found inside are Torx T5 screws—one non-proprietary screwdriver is all you need.
[* green] The LCD is not fused to the display and can be easily removed.
[* yellow] The rear case is a little difficult to open, but it should be easy with directions.
[* red] A decent amount of adhesive is used on the battery, meaning some prying and gentle working is required for disassembly.
-[* red] The glass panel is fused to the front plastic frame, so a heat gun will be required for replacing cracked glass (or you have to replace both components together).
