  • Amazon Fire TV Repairability Score: 6 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

  • Simple construction—upper case, lower case, heat sink, motherboard. Once it's apart, there's not much to keep track of.

  • The power supply is separate; should it ever need replacement, there'll be no disassembly required.

  • Standard Phillips screws populate the internals, making this box a worry-free affair once you're inside...

  • ...provided you never need to remove the heat sink, which is secured with copious amounts of extremely sticky glue.

  • The outer case is a very tight fit. Plastic clips are used rather than glue, but they're so stubborn you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise.

  • A single board hosts all the vitals—clean and simple, but when it comes to repair, it's all or nothing.
