	[* black] Samsung Galaxy Tab Repairability: *6 out of 10* (10 is easiest to repair)
	[* green] All of the components are accessible without soldering.
	[* green] The battery is user-replaceable.
	[* yellow] Tri-wing screws were used to deter would-be repairers, but can be easily thwarted with [product\|IF145-028\|one] [product\|IF145-022\|of] [product\|IF145-028\|iFixit's] [product\|IF145-022\|bit] [product\|IF145-028\|driver] [product\|IF145-022\|kits].
	[* red] A heat gun is required to access the LCD.
	[* red] Getting the Galaxy Tab open is quite a chore; plastic opening tools alone are not enough to do the trick.
