Open it up! That is exactly what iFixit has done, in usual fashion, to Amazon’s new set-top box. Fire TV has gotten the teardown treatment. iFixit rates devices from 1 to 10 when experiencing a teardown in terms of ease. Getting a 10 would solidify an easy fix when the time comes. In this case, the Fire TV set-top box earned an average 6. Not hard, but not easy.

One of the funnier parts of the teardown happened when iFixit made its way to inside. It looked like someone stuck a piece of gum; however, iFixit notes that this is just thermal compound that sticks and keeps everything cool. To further the goal of keeping the device cool, Amazon included a heat sink to spread out the temperature.

Anyone else want to see how Gary Busey would go about opening his beloved Fire TV?
