  • Macintosh 128K Repairability Score 7 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

  • Once you’re inside, it’s simple and straightforward to replace any of the main components: floppy drive, power supply, logic board, or CRT display.

  • No adhesive anywhere.

  • User-replaceable clock battery.

  • Limited upgradability: The RAM is soldered to the logic board and can’t be replaced, and there’s no slot/port to add an internal drive. However, you can expand storage via an optional external floppy drive.

  • The case is fairly difficult to open, with deeply recessed screws and a tight panel fit.

  • There are some dangerous high voltages on both the power supply and the CRT that make repair potentially hazardous.
