Retroid Pocket 2+ PCB Upgrade Guide

If you have an old Retroid Pocket 2, you can buy a PCB upgrade kit that will transform your existing unit into a Retroid Pocket 2+ — at $65 (plus shipping), that’s a pretty good deal. So in this video I’ll show you how to install the new PCB and a touchscreen, and how to deal with buttons that are sticking.
