Thanks so much for this video. I had a faulty speaker on my unit from the start. Anbernic sent me a replacement speaker and told me to look up a video lol. Thought it would be harder but it was just removing the screws and pulling plugs.
So I'm trying to pull off the connector for the battery. Do I have to push down on something as I'm pulling the connector off, or do I just pull and the connector disconnects? Because I feel like trying to just pull it, isn't the right way to go about it.
The battery connector does not lock into place. It just uses friction to stay in place. You may have to wiggle it a bit to free it, but it really shouldn’t take much effort to remove it.
@cosmicgamingunlimited yes thank you for the reply I did exactly what you did in your video to unplug that connector, and it did come right out like in your video. So I just have one other question, when I plugged in the existing battery connector back in, it didn't feel as tight. Is this normal or do I really need to push the new battery connector on there?
@@cosmicgamingunlimited Okay. Yeah the problem is that it's not turning on. If you plug in the USB-C cable to charge it, the backlight turns on, when you unplug it the backlight turns off. Pressing power button does nothing, pressing and holding in power does nothing. I tried taking out the card, press Reset (did not hold) reinsert card but that didn't fix anything. My thought was well it's gotta be the battery. Thank you for your replies and advice. I'm trying to fix it for a coworker.
@ is the charger a PD charger? Use an older 5V charger, not a new one otherwise it will not charge. Also, make sure the firmware is in the correct SD card slot, otherwise it will not power on either. If the SD card is corrupted, it will also not turn on.
@@cosmicgamingunlimited I contacted anbernic and it seems they are not selling that part. I think i might resolder those joints to be able to get the sound back.
@@cosmicgamingunlimited I recently opened my unit and found out 3 joints removed. I resoldered it and it solved the problem. Good thing I don't need the parts.
Mine just shows orange light while charging but won't charge or boot. Battery shows stuck at 0% but it's actually charging because it gets warm and i can use the battery in my bt speaker. Done everything possible.
I know the time of the message, but I wanted to know if it solved your problem? I'm having the same problem. I try to charge the Anbernic, and when I plug it in, the orange charging light appears and the battery charging screen does not appear, a black screen. I left it charging for some time and monitored the battery, so as not to overheat or overheat... I tried to use the suggestions on the Anbernic website, for troubleshooting, such as: "RG35XX System Crash/Game Crash" or "RG35XX Unable to Power on and Unable to be Charged" and downloaded the two firmware updates, offered by technical support, ... I used rufus to create the image on the sd card. Of the suggestions, in my case it could be a battery or screen problem... the SD I'm using is from Sandisk, 128GB, as they said the original from Anbernic is of low quality. If you have any suggestions, thank you in advance.
Any chance you know what the connector type on the battery is? Looking into getting a bigger one made but ive been asked what connector is required, to which i have no clue 😅
Thanks, now to see what's the biggest battery they have that fits. Ive sent them an email, waiting for a response. Hopefully i can get something over 4000mah
Man, good video! Im having a problem on P2 jack since my cat throw my RG35XX PLUS from my bookshelf. The device appears as it is connected to headphones even though it is not. Is there any way I can disable this p2 jack?
I don't recommend removing the electromagnetic shielding cage. It can be done, but you would have to re-adhere it to the board, as I would not leave it off. It protects the CPU from EMF and also gives it a bit of physical protection as well.
@@cosmicgamingunlimited thank you. I'm just scared of doing it coz anbernic sent me a motherboard that doesnt have that coz mine has audio issue after speaker replacement. And theyre asking me to put it on the new board they sent
@@cosmicgamingunlimited no from there one website. Where going back and forward now. They want me to use a gamepad tester, but I don’t know how so I send them a video haha 😂
@@dvornikovalexei is it poor alignment with the button cap to the contractor? You can take it apart, remove the plastic piece that is over top of the power switch and plug the battery in and see if it still does the same thing.
@@cosmicgamingunlimited No i mean the problem started with my device would get turned on automatically. Now it's finally dead. When i plug in charger, and press power button, instead of turning the device on it turns off charging instead (the orange light goes off)

Bad job from anbernic, good job on you!

@ it will be okay, just make sure there isn’t a large gap between the top of the female piece and the male piece.

Been searching for this disassembly. My unit has a problem on the audio jack port.
I tried looking up a part number, not finding anything at the moment. Looks like 6 solder points
@@cosmicgamingunlimited I contacted anbernic and it seems they are not selling that part. I think i might resolder those joints to be able to get the sound back.
@@mjmj6420 Anbernic usually sources their parts from a 3rd party. just need to get a part number. not sure if worth the effort.
@@cosmicgamingunlimited I recently opened my unit and found out 3 joints removed. I resoldered it and it solved the problem. Good thing I don't need the parts.
@@mjmj6420 Sounds like a win! Wish it was just easier and cheaper to do the warranty replacement.

Check your sd card, make sure it hasnt corrupted. Make sure the Firmware is in the correct sd card slot.
@@cosmicgamingunlimited Yeah done everything that can be done. I gave up. I think motherboard problem

You didn’t show us the buttons and the d-pad 😢
What would you like to see? I can always do a follow up or a youtube short.

JST 1.25mm 2 pin connector.

@ Good luck! There is definitely enough space in the area for a bigger battery.

are you using stock firmware?
@@cosmicgamingunlimited Yes!!
@@cosmicgamingunlimited You think there is a way to solve this without opening the console ?
@@PIXELPARADOXO Let me check custom firmwares and see if you can disable it. I think you can, let me check.
Hi. Can you remove the CPU heatsink? Or the silver metal covering the cpu?

@@CEO1992 Let me see what I can do when I get home, can make a quick video as long as my wife doesnt have chores for me (spoiler alert, she does).
@@cosmicgamingunlimited thank you so much sir. Looking forward to it ❤️
@@cosmicgamingunlimited With a little bit of courage I got it out and able to fix the audio issue. Thank you sir!
aah thanks i think my power button is broken, just got it, can only start it with a kabel and then use the reset button lol.
if you got it from Amazon, just ask for a new one.
@@cosmicgamingunlimited no from there one website. Where going back and forward now. They want me to use a gamepad tester, but I don’t know how so I send them a video haha 😂
Complete opposite for me. My power button is physically fine but it is in a state of being always pressed. Any way to disconnect it?
