Anbernic launches parts store to keep handhelds alive

Anbernic replacement – Anbernic has opened a dedicated store page for replacement parts for its gaming handhelds, letting customers order items like joysticks, batteries, screens, and motherboards. The company says buyers must select the correct handheld model and color, or it won’t

A cracked screen or a worn-out joystick can feel like the end of the road for a handheld—until the day the parts start showing up for purchase.

Anbernic has now revealed a store page dedicated to replacement parts for its gaming handhelds. The lineup stretches from newer models such as the RG Rotate to older offerings including the RG350P. On the page. customers can order a range of components meant to bring damaged devices back to life. including replacement shells. screens. conductive rubber pads. joysticks. batteries. motherboards. and buttons.

The ordering process is specific. Before placing an order, buyers have to specify the model and color of the Anbernic handheld they’re trying to repair. Anbernic is warning customers to get that information right, saying it won’t offer any claims if the device info is incorrect.

While the store page is live, it doesn’t currently include guides or step-by-step instructions for replacing individual parts. That means the success of a repair will depend largely on whether a customer already has the DIY know-how to do the work.

For those who do, the pricing could vary dramatically depending on what’s broken. Anbernic says repairs could cost as much as $236 for a replacement motherboard on more powerful devices, while some parts can be as cheap as $3 for a spare conductive rubber pad.

The change lands in the same broader direction as other moves in the repair ecosystem. Previously, Anbernic customers had to go through the company’s support channels and be approved for a replacement device. With this store page. the company is giving people a more direct path to fixing their own handhelds—just without the safety net of official repair instructions.

It’s a practical shift for anyone trying to keep an already affordable device in rotation. But it also puts the burden on the customer to match the right model and color and to handle the work themselves, because the store is built for parts ordering, not step-by-step repair help.

  1. So they’re selling parts now instead of sending replacements? Kinda seems like the “support” people are getting ignored.

  2. I don’t get why anyone would pay for a motherboard from them when you can just buy a whole new one. Unless the old one is super special??

  3. If you pick the wrong color or model, no claims?? That’s wild. Like my RG350P is basically the same as my RG Rotate (I think). How strict can it be, it’s all handhelds lol

  4. No repair guides is the dumb part. I’ve never soldered anything in my life and $236 for a motherboard sounds like a scam. Also $3 for those rubber pads?? that’s so random it makes me suspicious.
