  • Samsung Galaxy Tab Repairability: 6 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

  • All of the components are accessible without soldering.

  • The battery is user-replaceable.

  • Tri-wing screws were used to deter would-be repairers, but can be easily thwarted with one of iFixit's bit driver kits.

  • A heat gun is required to access the LCD.

  • Getting the Galaxy Tab open is quite a chore; plastic opening tools alone are not enough to do the trick.

  • Much like its competitor, the iPad 3G, the Samsung Galaxy Tab didn't stand a chance against iFixit's crafty handywork.

  • That's it! Thanks again to Richard Lai @ Engadget for getting us the hardware.
