This is my sort of how to guide on how I replaced the buttons on my Odin 2 with white buttons and joysticks. If you try to do this yourself you can use this as a guide to help you get through it as I plan to do a picture step by step for my next one.

I plan to do a picture and another video guide, now that I know what I'm getting into it's really not as scary to be truthfully honest. The only thing that is the scary part is the volume and power button which isn't really necessary to change. The right side was the easier side too I didn't realize I'd be starting with the hard side of the device when I opened it up lol. But I feel more confident doing it again which I will definitely in the near future for the Blue Max model!

@brianflores3673 5 ай бұрын

Do you have a fix for the black lines on the Odin 2? One week into owning device there are visible black horizontal lines across the screen anyone else seen this?

@DNAMobileGaming 4 ай бұрын

You should contact Ayn if you didn't drop it or put pressure on the screen by placing it in your pocket or a case that it didn't fit in properly then you should have a replacement warranty.

a question friend, can I change the hard drive to this console and put a larger memory in it, can it help?

@DNAMobileGaming 3 ай бұрын

You can buy a larger version it's not like a Windows handheld where you can upgrade the NVME for example. So no not recommended also the 8 GB model is way more than good enough just add a 512gb Micro SD and you're good to go.

Hey you're welcome, sorry if my voice is to loud I'm working on my mic settings again after I just did an SSD upgrade and fresh install of Windows lol on my dektop. So I hope this helps, I am planning another teardown of my Blue Max next week which will be more comfortable. I'm going to take close up pictures while doing it. But glad this helped, I have years of experience tearing small stuff down and putting it back together.

Damn, I hate clips with a vengeance... Why do they design most devices to be a pain in the arse to open nowadays? It isn't necessary as proven by countless other devices not needing clips to stay together. That's what the screws are for... I just wanted to flip the ABXY buttons around to non-Nintendo layout but this seems to much of a pain. Great guide though, thanks!

@DNAMobileGaming 2 ай бұрын

The clips aren't really that bad, the reason they need clips is so the plastic doesn't collapse in on itself and holds together even without screws. It's extra support, but again these clips are not nearly as bad as other devices. The Odin 2 all together is really the easiest device I've ever taken apart and trust me I've taken apart phones from the iPhone 3/Samsung Galaxy S2 all the way up to the Note 8 apart. Heck I've even ripped apart laptops that are more of a pain and my Ally is also sort of a pain to get the back plate off. That all said, you can't simply swap the buttons btw you have to order custom ones like Sakura Retro Modding buttons.

@moomah5929 2 ай бұрын

@@DNAMobileGaming I took devices apart that didn't need clips while also having such rounded shells. There are ways to do it without clips. I also had laptops with very similar backplates where one manufacturer used clips and the other didn't. Even using tools it happened that clips broke off. Of cause Smartphones are a whole other level of pain to take apart by design. In the end it always comes down to design and manufacturers clearly design devices to be hard to take apart and not because it is necessary. Good to know that you can't swap the buttons. Would have been very annoying to find out after taking it apart. I know lot's of controllers are designed like this, where the buttons have different "noses" and can't be put into different spots. If the buttons are exactly the same besides these noses, it's a stupid design. Do the buttons for the Odin have a different design? Can't really tell from the outside or the storefront pictures.
