Vizio Co-Star Repairability: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

The outer case only requires a little bit of prying with a plastic opening tool to open.

The only screws used in the Co-Star are standard Phillips #0.

Most of the components are easily accessible and thus easily replaced in case of failure.

Removing the remote's QWERTY keypad is painless, making regular cleaning a relatively simple task.

An abundance of glue securing the trackpad to the front of the remote makes removal difficult.
