! Part !! Repairable? !! Notes
|-
| '''OS image / CompactFlash card''' || '''Yes, trivially''' || The commonest "dead netBook" is a missing or corrupt card. Keep a spare image and a spare card.<ref name="faqgen" />
|-
| '''Personality module''' || '''Yes, by substitution''' || A Series 7 module will run a netBook as a Series 7. Only 16, 32 and 64 MB configurations are accepted.<ref name="lindsay" />
|-
| '''Bootloader version (OneEd machines)''' || '''Yes, by substitution''' || Fitting an ordinary netBook module is the understood route back to standard upgrade behaviour.<ref name="openpsion" />
|-
| '''Screen cable seating''' || '''Yes''' || Psion documented the fix themselves. See the [[Psion Series 7 Troubleshooting Guide#Step 2: the screen cable — the defining fault|Series 7 guide]].
|-
| '''Battery pack''' || '''Yes''' || Rebuildable with new 18650 cells. See [[Psion netBook Battery Service]].
|-
| '''Keyboard''' || '''Yes''' || New-old-stock Series 7 / netBook keyboards are still sold in several layouts. The keyboard itself is a sealed unit and should not be further disassembled.<ref name="lindsay" />
|-
| '''RAM (board-level)''' || For SMD-capable hands || Two unfitted DRAM sites exist on the board; use low-power parts, since the DRAM is powered continuously.<ref name="lindsay" />
|-
| '''PC Card power capability''' || '''No''' || A property of the board revision. A revision 7 board will not become a revision 10 one.<ref name="lindsay" />
|-
| '''Screen cable clamp''' || '''No, practically''' || Soldered to the motherboard; breaking it means a donor board.
|-
| '''NEC ASIC, Philips CPLD''' || '''No''' || Custom parts. A failure means a donor board.
