The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.
Why this grade
TCL maintains an official Self-Repair Services page routing customers to an authorized parts distributor, and its modular boards (power, main, T-CON) are inexpensive and widely cross-referenced on TV Parts Today/ShopJimmy; boards are screw-and-harness modular and easy to swap. Service manuals exist on free repositories and 'upon request' but there's no robust official schematic portal. No parts pairing. Parts are cheap, but because the whole TV is cheap the repair-vs-replace math often favors replacement, and panels remain uneconomical - keeping this a D.

Methodology & scope
Five dimensions are scored 0–100 and weighted equally: parts availability, schematic access, repairability, OEM pricing and software freedom. The letter scale is A (90–100), B (80–89), C (70–79), D (60–69), F (below 60).
