Final Thoughts
-
The Playdate earns a 6 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
-
A big flathead screwdriver and an opening pick will get you inside.
-
You can twirl away all the internal (Pozidriv) screws with a basic Phillips driver.
-
The battery is immediately accessible and only lightly adhered in place.
-
The headphone jack is completely modular, and the crank design is simple and serviceable.
-
You can swap the display, but only if you replace the entire front case.
-
All of the controls are aggregated onto a single FPC—easy to swap, but a bit wasteful if only one thing breaks.
-
The USB-C port is soldered to the main board.
