Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Oppo A77s seems to be quite low. The use of strong adhesive for the back cover and battery as well as the need for alcohol to dissolve it makes it difficult to open and access internal components. Additionally the need to disassemble multiple components and remove the mid frame to replace the screen adds to the complexity of repairs. However the battery cable and battery are easily accessible and pull tabs are provided for battery removal which are positive aspects. Overall I would give the Oppo A77s a score of 6.0 out of 10 for repairability.
