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.

@[email protected] so nice to see a handheld that can be taken apart and repaired easily, my New 3DS XL fell when I was trying to put on a shirt and play at the same time (true story) now it has two big dead pixels spots on the top screen and that's killing me. I looked up how to replace the screen but it's just too complicated of a process for a simple dude like me.

@[email protected] That's brutal man. I would love to see you able to repair it someday, I used to think this stuff was too difficult until I tried it. But then again, I've never worked on a 3DS.

Modding a GBA with an IPS screen some years ago was pretty in-depth, and way more of a job than this one today. I agree that easy access to the internals is a huge plus these days, not something to be taken for granted!
