Ouya Repairability Score: 9 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

The batteries are standard AA. Plus, they're easy to access and replace without tools.

Only standard-head screws are used (Phillips and Hex).

Many components are modular and simple to remove, making them easy and cost-effective to replace.

The heat sink is soldered in place, so if you need to replace the thermal pad, or repeated fan-swapping strips the threads, you'll need some soldering skills.

The joysticks are soldered to the circuit board, so if your button-mashing gets out of hand, you may need to replace the whole board.
