The topic You can now buy replacement joysticks and screens directly from Anbernic instead of\u2026<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest shames with the handheld console industry is what happens when a specific yet vital component breaks. Because everything is tightly packaged within a shell, something that should be easy to swap can become a death knell for the entire unit. Some people have found creative uses for busted handhelds, but ideally, people should be able to repair them at home.<\/p>\n

Well, Anbernic has made a massive step toward making that a reality; at least, with its own handhelds. The company has unveiled a store where you can buy bits and bobs for your console, though you’ll need to be a little careful before you buy.<\/p>\n

As spotted by Engadget, Anbernic has opened its digital doors for people to purchase parts for their broken handhelds. There’s seemingly no limit on what you can grab; from a cursory glance, I can see options for buying a console shell, screen, motherboard, and battery, alongside smaller parts like the joysticks and buttons.<\/p>\n

However, you’re going to want to be really careful with your purchase. Underneath the parts selection section, as part of the “Purchase Notes,” Anbernic clearly states that if you buy a part for the wrong console, it won’t refund you or let you exchange it for another part. If you purchase the wrong color, you also won’t get a refund. And if you don’t tell them what color you want, they’ll cancel your order in a week. So yeah, double and triple-check your order before you send it.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, if you’re after a spare part that isn’t a motherboard or a screen, the prices are surprisingly cheap. Most models have the conductive rubber pad at $3, the battery at $8, and everything else at $10. And because it’s from an official source, you don’t have to worry about bootleg purchases.<\/p>\n
