what better way to end our week than to
show you what's inside
Amazon's all-knowing all listening and
now all-seeing echo show the
interestingly shaped echo is Amazon's
latest entry into the echo line of
products and now includes a touchscreen
and camera after removing the tapes on
rubber foot and tons of screws from the
bottom of the show we were stunned by so
why we couldn't get this thing open
removing the speaker grille revealed
more screws and then prying up the
digitizer revealed even more how many
screws are in this thing and finally
once we disconnected some hard-to-reach
cables everything else lifted right out
these speakers are huge and heavy and
they might explain why this echoes wall
adapter outputs 15 volts at 1.4 amps
meaning there's 21 watts driving Alexa
next out was the mainboard which was
home to the Intel Atom x5 processor 2
gigabytes of sk hynix main ram and eight
gigabytes of nand flash storage if
you're looking for the identity of the
other chips we've got the complete list
on the teardown ifixit.com there's
Alexa's eye the echo show features this
5 megapixel camera which came out easy
enough but the display with a whole
nother matter it was thoroughly glued
and played this 7 inch display has a
resolution of 1024 by 600 and a pixel
density of 170 pixels per inch there's
one more board in this echo and it's the
button and microphone board this board
has four Texas Instruments made
low-power stereo analog to digital
converters and eight microphones we've
got the echo shows fully disassembled so
it was time to talk repairability the
Amazon echo show scored a 4 out of 10
and here's why
on the upside the echoey show only uses
standard t5 and t6 Torx screws while
they may not get much where the most
where Pro components buttons and power
jacks are soldered to boards
complicating replacements the digitizer
is not fused to the display but must be
pried up from tough adhesive to keep any
repairs but on the downside the display
is adhered very tightly to the mid frame
and difficult to remove without damage
and finally any repair is going to
require cutting through and replacing
some lots of toughest cases
