  • Nexus 7 Repairability Score: 7 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

  • The rear case is very easy to open, and requires minimal prying effort with a plastic opening tool to remove.

  • All fasteners inside are Phillips #00 screws—no security or proprietary screws here.

  • Battery replacement can be accomplished without soldering—or even a screwdriver.

  • Many components, including the I/O ports, can be replaced independently of the motherboard.

  • Copper alloy sheets provide convenient shielding, but they could tear during disassembly.

  • The LCD does not separate from the display glass, increasing repair costs.
