-	[* black] Here lies the iPod Touch.
-	[* black] We've been busy ripping apart iPods this week. We've got [link\|/Teardown\|teardowns] of both the [guide\|3563\|new Nano] and [guide\|3559\|new Shuffle].
+	[* black] *iPod Touch 4th Generation Repairability: 4 out of 10* (10 is easiest to repair)
+	[* green] Good: Opening the device is pretty straightforward, as long as you have a heat gun and some iPod Touch opening tools handy.
+	[* green] Good: The headphone jack is not soldered to the logic board, a first for the iPod Touch line.
+	[* red] The front glass and LCD are permanently fused together, increasing the cost of repairing broken front glass.
+	[* red] Removing the display completely requires removing the logic board
+	[* red] Apple soldered the volume button and sleep button cable to the logic board. The previous Touch had a ZIF connector. This makes removing logic board very difficult.
+	[* red] The battery is still soldered to the logic board, just like previous models.
