iFixit, the company known for its elaborate teardowns of various gadgets, has gotten its paws on Google's Chromecast, the USB dongle that lets you stream web video to a TV set.

Given the small form factor of the device — it's just a USB dongle, after all — the teardown doesn't bring too many surprises, and iFixit did not score it on repairability, claiming there's "nothing in it to repair".
