-	[* black] Nintendo 3DS Repairability Score: *5 out of 10* (10 is easiest to repair)
+	[* black] Nintendo 3DS Repairability Score: *4 out of 10* (10 is easiest to repair)
	[* green] The battery is easily swappable by removing the back cover.
	[* green] No proprietary Tri-Wing screws were used, just Phillips #00.
	[* red] The top display's cables are routed in such a way that it makes them quite frustrating to remove without ripping them off, and just as difficult to re-seat properly during device reassembly.
	[* red] There's tons of little components inside the 3DS, which may potentially cause problems if you happen to lose one while performing a repair.
	[* red] The majority of connectors are ZIF, and it's difficult to ensure each one is connected properly without reassembling the whole thing and starting up the device.
+	[* red] The headphone jack and charging connector are soldered to the motherboard, meaning you need to take out your soldering iron if you accidentally break them.
