I've had an absolutely marvelous time using the Anbernic RG35XXSP ever since I received it back in late July, incredible bang for your buck at $60.

After some extensive gaming sessions on the device, I noticed the A button has started to sink down further than the other buttons due to repeated use. Luckily, I have all the tools needed to disassemble this unit on hand. I'm free for the rest of the day, so let's see if we can repair this minor defect.

Some shots of the disassembly process. A Phillips screwdriver, T6 bit and a steady hand are all that's needed to get this thing open.

Now that the battery is out, use the T6 bit to undo four screws so you can remove the back plate

I flipped up the board and immediately figured out what's going on. As you can see, the shaft of the A button is stuck inside a small hole in the rubber membrane. We'll need to put something small between the two to keep this from happening again in the future

:mic: as you all know, folks: it is easier to tear down than it is to build up!

:mic: can he do it?! can he rebuild it?! ONLY TIME WILL TELL!
