    • With a price tag of just $99, we weren't expecting the Ouya's hardware to have ten-core processors and eight bajillion gigs of RAM. The price-appropriate tech specs are as follows:

    • Nvidia Tegra 3 processor

    • 1 GB of RAM

    • 8 GB of internal storage (expandable via USB)

    • Wi-Fi and ethernet connectivity

    • Included along with the Ouya is a single Bluetooth-enabled gamepad.

    • Rumor has it that two vowels, who wish to remain anonymous, felt left out in the Ouya naming process. One of the jilted letters is even quoted as saying, "This is an outrage. Y isn't even a real vowel." Y has yet to be reached for comment.

  2. Ouya Teardown: шаг 2, изображение 1 из 2 Ouya Teardown: шаг 2, изображение 2 из 2
    • The right side of the console is engraved with "The Angel List." This list includes the usernames and backer numbers of people who contributed $10,000 or more to the development cost of the Ouya.

    • "The Angel List" is only engraved on the first production run of consoles.

    • The back side of the Ouya is bedecked with several ports:

    • DC-In power

    • Micro-USB

    • Ethernet port

    • HDMI port

    • USB 2.0 port

    • The top panel comes off without a hitch after removing the Hex (screws, that is).

    • Inside, we find a very clean and simple layout. The motherboard, I/O ports, and fan are tucked into the console as a single assembly.

    • In the center of the device there's a lone LED, presumably the beacon of hope or indicator of repair, as we've seen in other devices.

  4. Ouya Teardown: шаг 4, изображение 1 из 2 Ouya Teardown: шаг 4, изображение 2 из 2
    • Extracting the motherboard/fan assembly simply requires pulling it away from the case assembly.

    • This incredibly difficult process requires about 10 seconds and two fingers, meaning Mickey Mouse could do it with 6 fingers to spare! We can confirm that this device is mouse-friendly!

    • A small spring-loaded contact on the side of the motherboard appears to have been included for some extra grounding.

  5. Ouya Teardown: шаг 5, изображение 1 из 3 Ouya Teardown: шаг 5, изображение 2 из 3 Ouya Teardown: шаг 5, изображение 3 из 3
    • A Phillips #1 screwdriver frees five small weights from the bottom of the case.

    • It's rare that we see a design that intentionally adds weight. Unlike cell phones or tablets, which need to be light and mobile, the Ouya needs bulk to stand up to the cables on the back.

    • Each hunk of metal weighs 0.39 ounces, adding nearly two ounces of bottom-heavy staying power to the diminutive console.

  6. Ouya Teardown: шаг 6, изображение 1 из 3 Ouya Teardown: шаг 6, изображение 2 из 3 Ouya Teardown: шаг 6, изображение 3 из 3
    • The fan is the only modular, easily-removed component in the box—which is fortunate, as it's also the only moving component, subject to wear.

    • Also fortunate is how easy it is to remove—four Phillips screws and a plug later and we've got it out for closer inspection.

    • This SUNON MagLev HA40101V4 DC brushless fan is rated for 12 volts at 0.8 W.

    • The fan's a standard, off-the-shelf part, so you can easily replace it if it kicks the bucket. Boouya.

    • With the fan out of the way, we're (temporarily) slowed in our journey to the center of the Ouya—the heat sink is soldered in place, obscuring the processor.

    • According to an Ouya engineer, solder was chosen over clips for mechanical strength, as they were (rightfully) worried about such a small console being knocked around or dropped. Soldering the heat sink to the motherboard proved a much tougher design, better at surviving drop tests.

    • No trouble for us, we pulled out our trusty soldering iron and desoldering wick and quickly freed the heat sink.

  8. Ouya Teardown: шаг 8, изображение 1 из 2 Ouya Teardown: шаг 8, изображение 2 из 2
    • Prominent ICs on the front and back of the motherboard:

    • Two Samsung K4B4G1646B 4 Gigabit DDR3 SDRAM modules (for 1 GB total)

    • SMSC LAN9500A Hi-Speed USB 2.0 to 10/100 Ethernet Controller

    • Texas Instruments TPS659110 Integrated Power Management Unit

    • AzureWave AW-NH660 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth 4.0 module, based on Broadcom BCM4330

    • Texas Instruments TPS51216 Buck Controller for DDR2/3/3L and TPS51225 Dual Step-Down Controller with 5V and 3.3V LDOs

    • Nvidia T33-P-A3 Tegra 3 Multi-Core CPU

    • Kingston KE4CN3K6A 8 GB eMMC (eMMC integrates a NAND flash memory and a controller chip in a single package)

  9. Ouya Teardown: шаг 9, изображение 1 из 3 Ouya Teardown: шаг 9, изображение 2 из 3 Ouya Teardown: шаг 9, изображение 3 из 3
    • With the momentum of a manatee listening to dubstep, we just couldn't stop ourselves after the console. We had to move on to the controller.

    • The controller is outfitted with 15 buttons, two analog sticks, and a capacitative touchpad.

    • Two pieces of the top casing of the controller easily separate from the body, no tools required—convenient for dropping in fresh batteries (2 x AA) when you're running low.

    • We blow past a few Phillips screws and crack open the controller.

  10. Ouya Teardown: шаг 10, изображение 1 из 3 Ouya Teardown: шаг 10, изображение 2 из 3 Ouya Teardown: шаг 10, изображение 3 из 3
    • Inside the controller we find a stack of two circuit boards—the top hosts contacts for the directional pad and "O, U, Y, A" buttons, while the lower is home to the two analog joysticks.

    • Noting that the device was named after the button configuration, as was decided based on feedback from the device's backers on Kickstarter, we took it upon ourselves to see what other devices would be named if they were to do the same:

    • Nintendo Abstart CCCC

    • Sega Baxy

    • Sony RL Soxa

    • While we're here, let's pull those top-mounted buttons out of the casing so we can get a better look at the touchpad.

  11. Ouya Teardown: шаг 11, изображение 1 из 2 Ouya Teardown: шаг 11, изображение 2 из 2
    • After a bit of prying we remove the last pair of shoulder buttons and indicator LED light guide, exposing the underside of the controller's top casing.

    • Strapped to the back of a 0.9" x 1.5" touchpad is a MA32P03 touchpad controller, providing 2D mouse tracking for the Ouya.

  12. Ouya Teardown: шаг 12, изображение 1 из 2 Ouya Teardown: шаг 12, изображение 2 из 2
    • Back to the PCBs: separating the two reveals their 12-pin connection, that carries power and data from the lower board's buttons and analog sticks up to the top board.

    • Those springy wires waving about formed the battery contacts and are cleverly split up between the two boards.

  13. Ouya Teardown: шаг 13, изображение 1 из 2 Ouya Teardown: шаг 13, изображение 2 из 2
    • Underneath the top button board, we find a lone IC, charged with running the entire controller.

    • The Broadcom BCM20730 Bluetooth 3.0 transceiver features an integrated ARM Cortex M3 processor, capable of reading all of the button and joystick inputs and sending them off into the ether (or really, back to the Ouya console).

  14. Ouya Teardown: шаг 14, изображение 1 из 3 Ouya Teardown: шаг 14, изображение 2 из 3 Ouya Teardown: шаг 14, изображение 3 из 3
    • On the lower PCB, we get a good look at one of the two analog joysticks. Its spring-loaded movement is tracked by two potentiometers that measure degrees of tilt in two axes.

    • Potentiometers are analog devices that vary their resistance with position—this makes for an ideal low-power sensor, as only a small amount of power is required to measure resistance.

    • With a quick flick of a plastic opening tool, we release the plastic clips holding the shoulder buttons spring assembly in place.

  15. Ouya Teardown: шаг 15, изображение 1 из 2 Ouya Teardown: шаг 15, изображение 2 из 2
    • Ouya Repairability Score: 9 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

    • The batteries are standard AA. Plus, they're easy to access and replace without tools.

    • Only standard-head screws are used (Phillips and Hex).

    • Many components are modular and simple to remove, making them easy and cost-effective to replace.

    • The heat sink is soldered in place, so if you need to replace the thermal pad, or repeated fan-swapping strips the threads, you'll need some soldering skills.

    • The joysticks are soldered to the circuit board, so if your button-mashing gets out of hand, you may need to replace the whole board.

Sonun fan, hmm they are loud, mostly.

ziuporaphael - Ответить

The fan is 18.2 dB(A) at full speed which is fairly quiet.

brian whittle -

I see you list an eMMC module, is it removable (Allowing for possible size upgrade)?

Bill Anderson - Ответить

The eMMC module is soldered onto the main board, so replacing it will be rather difficult. For a more detailed explanation of what would be involved, check out this Answers response.

Where can I buy the fan used in the Ouya? I want it as a replacement just incase I screw up putting a Noctua fan in.
