The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.
Why this grade
GoPro action cameras are glued and sealed for waterproofing and are effectively not designed to be repaired. iFixit's Hero 9/10 disassembly guide states outright the cameras 'were not made to be disassembled,' that you must 'cut into the back,' and that the camera 'may not be waterproof after reassembly'; some models (e.g., Hero4 Session) have non-user-replaceable batteries. There is no official parts program or service manual; GoPro steers customers to replacement/trade-up rather than repair. iFixit sells a limited set of parts, but destructive entry and zero official documentation dominate the score.
