Anbernic Launches Parts Store With $3 Pads and $236 Motherboards for Handheld Repairs

Summary
Anbernic has opened an online replacement-parts store for its handheld gaming devices, letting owners buy components instead of seeking full-device replacements.
The catalog spans newer and older models—from the RG Rotate to the RG350P—and includes joysticks, batteries, screens, shells, buttons, conductive rubber pads and motherboards.
Prices range from $3 for a conductive rubber pad to $236 for a motherboard, but buyers must enter the correct model and color because Anbernic says it will not honor claims for wrong device information.
The store is live without official repair guides or step-by-step instructions, making the program most useful for users with DIY repair skills.
The move shifts Anbernic away from its earlier support-channel approval process and gives customers a self-service option similar to Apple’s repair-parts program.
