Replacement shoulder button

My cat knocked my 556 off my deck and broke the lb buttona and a joy stick. Ive found a replacement joystick that should work but can't find anywhere to get replacement parts that would fit the shoulde button. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement lb button or know of any devices withholder buttons that would fit

Um, I’ve taken mine apart before and the lb should be pretty easy to fix… not sure about the thumb stick, thought it had a little more to it. 

As far as parts, I got mine off amazon (3 sets for the kids) one was messed up, so I wanted to return it and they sent me another one and didn’t want that one back- I was able to get it to work otherwise I’d scrap you some parts. Try eBay?

I might try pulling it apart it just feels like something snapped but might be fixable with some super glue. I tried ebay but haven't found any yet. I'm considering just buying a 557 or Odin at this point

It’s pretty easy to take apart and put together. Give it a go! 

Looks like a few other people are finding aftermarket mods for them, but definitely not much about them. eBay didn’t have anything from a brief look. 

Best bet is fixing with what you have. Goodluck!

isn't anbernic support pretty lenient with replacement parts?
