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.

Here is the final result. The button sags to one side in a barely noticeable way, not a huge deal. More importantly, it now feels just the right amount of clicky in comparison with the other buttons. I am reasonably satisfied with how this turned out!

Overall, the disassembly and reassembly process went more smoothly than what I originally pictured. If this issue were to pop up again in the future, it's not that difficult or time consuming to get back to the internals. Case closed!

@[email protected] Thanks Jake, yeah it was nice to have a free afternoon to tackle this. It feels great to get a simple thing like this out of the way! You should totally do those soon

@[email protected] I really should finish, it was for a coworker of my wife's, but he''s now moved to another department haha - still, it'll be good to have a working drive in the good casing, as the one drive is shot, and the other casing is crap. Made sense. I started it - had to grab the set of Switch/Wii tools for the weird screws etc haha
