Anbernic is now offering a way for users to repair their consoles on their own or through a trusted shop as the official replacement parts for their handhelds are now available for customers to purchase.
Anbernic Offers a Replacement Parts Store
The company recently launched a dedicated replacement parts page on its website, giving users a direct way to purchase official components for a wide range of its gaming handhelds. The move removes the need to go through Anbernic's support channels just to get a broken part replaced, putting the repair process directly in the hands of whoever owns the device.
The replacement parts store covers both newer and older Anbernic handhelds, with available components including replacement shells, screens, joysticks, buttons, conductive rubber pads, batteries, and motherboards.
The parts page spans devices from the newer RG Rotate all the way back to older models like the RG350P, giving owners of a wide range of Anbernic hardware access to official components without needing to hunt for third-party alternatives.
Pricing varies considerably depending on the component, with the spare conductive rubber pad starting at around $3, while a replacement motherboard for one of Anbernic's more powerful devices can run up to $236.
Most parts fall somewhere in between, making the store a practical option for users who want to extend the life of a handheld without spending close to what a brand-new device would cost.
Get Official Anbernic Parts For Repairs
According to Engadget, to place an order, buyers need to specify both the exact handheld model and the color for the part they need. Anbernic has posted a clear warning on the store that any incorrect device information will not be covered under claims, so users need to confirm their device specs before placing an order.
The store page does not currently include repair guides or step-by-step instructions for swapping out individual components. That puts the responsibility squarely on the user to know what they are doing before they start taking their device apart.
For those with some DIY experience, the store removes the most frustrating part of the process, which is the actual sourcing for parts.
Anbernic Supports Right to Repair
Before this store page existed, customers who needed a replacement part had to contact Anbernic's support team and wait to be approved for a device replacement. That process was slower and gave users far less control over what happened next.
The new store page removes that barrier entirely, letting anyone order directly without needing prior approval.
The approach mirrors what Apple did when it launched its Self Service Repair program in 2022, which gave iPhone owners the ability to buy genuine Apple parts and tools for at-home repairs. Anbernic is bringing that same philosophy to its handheld lineup.
For a brand known for affordable retro-style gaming devices that attract tinkerers and emulation enthusiasts, a parts store fits naturally into what the company already stands for. Users who know their way around a screwdriver now have a clear path to keeping their handhelds running longer.
