  • Thunderbolt Display Repairability Score: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

  • Only T6 and T10 torx screws hold it together, meaning minimal tooling is required to service.

  • Minimal use of adhesives means reassembly will be easier and cleaner.

  • Front glass panel and LCD are easy to remove and major components are exposed upon removal.

  • You have to use suction cups to remove the front glass, which could end poorly if not done properly.

  • While disassembly was very straightforward, there are a lot of parts, cables and connectors, making full reassembly not for the faint of heart.
