Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Lava A1 is 5.0/10. The device does not use adhesive for the back cover making it easy to access the battery and battery cable. However several components need to be disassembled to replace the screen and the charging port and screen connectors are soldered to the board making them difficult to replace.
