Spare Parts for Electronic Dartboards – Repair Instead of Replace

Even electronic dartboards for private or semi-professional use can show signs of wear after extended use. This often affects individual segments, power supplies, buttons, sensors, or other components. In many cases, the entire board does not need to be replaced immediately.

With the right spare parts for electronic dartboards, various components can be replaced, and existing e-dartboards can continue to be used.

At Diplomatgames, you will find selected spare parts and accessories for various electronic dartboards and soft-tip dart systems.

What spare parts are available for electronic dartboards?

Depending on the manufacturer and model, different components may be available separately.

These include, for example:

• Single, double, and triple segments
• Bull and bullseye segments
• Spider and segment frames
• Catch rings
• Contact matrices and sensors
• Power supplies and adapters
• Cables and connectors
• Buttons and switches
• Fasteners
• Housing parts
• Other spare and wear parts

Not every spare part is universally applicable. Therefore, compatibility with the existing dartboard should always be checked before purchase.

Replacement segments for electronic dartboards

The segments are among the most heavily used components of an electronic dartboard.

With every hit, the plastic tip of the soft-tip dart penetrates one of the segment holes. The movement of the segment electronically detects the hit.

After intensive use, segments can:

• become damaged
• lose individual holes
• jam
• become stiff
• receive darts less effectively

Depending on the dartboard, individual segments or complete segment areas can be replaced.

Double and triple segments

Particularly frequently played fields such as Triple 20, Triple 19, or certain double fields can wear out faster than less frequently hit areas.

If the dartboard has a modular design, replacing a single double or triple segment can be an economical solution.

This means that the entire playing surface does not have to be replaced.

Bull and Bullseye

The bull area is also regularly heavily used.

Depending on the electronic dartboard, single bull and bullseye consist of separate segments.

In case of damage or problems with hit detection, these components can sometimes be replaced individually.

Before replacement, however, it should be checked whether the segment itself or a underlying contact or sensor unit is the cause.

Spider and segment frame

The spider or segment frame separates the individual scoring areas from each other and guides the movable segments.

Due to intensive use or hard hits, this component can also be damaged.

A defective spider can, for example, lead to:

• segments no longer being guided cleanly
• soft-tip dart points being received less effectively
• individual areas jamming

For compatible dartboards, replacement can be worthwhile.

Contact matrix and hit detection

Behind the segments is the technology for hit detection.

Depending on the board, different systems are used, for example:

• Contact matrices
• Foil contacts
• Sensors
• Mechanical contact surfaces

If a segment is pushed back by the dart, the electronics register the respective hit.

Problems in this area can manifest themselves as:

• hits not being detected
• incorrect fields being counted
• segments triggering multiple times
• individual areas not reacting at all

The exact cause should be determined as precisely as possible before purchasing a spare part.

Power supplies and adapters

Electronic dartboards require a reliable power supply.

Depending on the model, this is done via:

• Power supply unit
• Adapter
• Batteries
• Combination of mains operation and batteries

If a power supply unit needs to be replaced, the following specifications must always match:

• Input voltage
• Output voltage
• Current strength
• Polarity
• Plug size
• Device model

A visually matching plug does not automatically mean that the power supply unit is technically suitable.

Cables and connectors

Cables and connectors can also become damaged over time.

Typical problems are:

• Cable breakage
• Loose contacts
• Damaged plugs
• Intermittent connections
• Corroded connections

Therefore, before replacing larger electronic assemblies, it is often worthwhile to check the existing wiring.

Buttons and controls

Depending on the model, electronic dartboards have various control buttons for:

• Game selection
• Player change
• Start
• Reset
• Volume
• Menu functions

With intensive use, such buttons can wear out or be mechanically damaged.

If suitable spare parts are available, individual control elements can be replaced.

Displays and indicators

For high-quality electronic dartboards, displays and indicator modules can also be among the relevant spare parts.

Possible error patterns are:

• individual segments of the display fail
• display remains dark
• numbers are displayed incompletely
• lighting does not work

Before replacement, it should be checked whether the display itself or the power supply or electronics is the cause.

Battery compartment and power contacts

Many smaller electronic dartboards can also be operated with batteries.

Over time, contacts in the battery compartment can:

• oxidize
• bend
• become damaged

Damaged battery compartment covers or holders can also be problematic.

Depending on the model, corresponding spare parts may be available.

Housing parts and doors

Some electronic dartboards have side doors or covers that can be closed for transport or storage.

These components can also become damaged over time.

Depending on the model, for example:

• Hinges
• Doors
• Covers
• Fasteners

may be available as spare parts.

Removing broken soft-tip dart points

Broken plastic tips are among the most common problems with soft-tip dartboards.

If tip remnants get stuck in the segment holes, they can:

• block new darts
• make segments stiff
• impair hit detection

Such remnants should therefore be removed regularly.

Special aids or tools can be used for this.

Regularly clean electronic dartboard

Not every malfunction automatically means a defect.

Dust, dirt, and broken soft-tip dart points can impair the mobility of the segments.

Careful regular cleaning can therefore be useful.

The manufacturer's instructions should always be observed.

In particular, electronic components should not be treated with unsuitable cleaning agents or moisture.

When is a repair worthwhile?

A repair can be particularly worthwhile if:

• only individual segments are damaged
• the power supply or adapter is defective
• a button no longer works
• individual mechanical parts are damaged
• the dartboard otherwise works reliably

For very inexpensive or severely damaged boards, a complete replacement may be more economical.

For higher-quality models, however, searching for suitable spare parts is often worthwhile.

Spare parts for various manufacturers

Electronic dartboards are offered by numerous manufacturers.

Depending on the assortment, spare parts or accessories for various brands may be available at Diplomatgames.

The basic principle is:

Spare parts should always be selected based on the exact manufacturer and model.

Even visually similar dartboards can use different segments, connectors, and electronics.

Check model designation

Before placing an order, you should ideally have the following information ready:

Information	Why important?
Manufacturer	narrows down the spare parts
Model number	important for exact assignment
Serial or item number	can distinguish variants
Connection	especially for power supplies and electronics
Dimensions	important for mechanical parts
Photo of the component	facilitates comparison

The model designation is often found on a type plate on the back of the dartboard or in the battery compartment.

Personal advice on spare parts

For electronic dartboards, there are numerous different designs and technical variants.

If you are not sure which spare part fits your board, contact Diplomatgames before ordering.

Helpful information includes:

• Manufacturer
• Exact model designation
• Photos of the dartboard
• Photo of the defective component
• Dimensions
• Connection or plug
• Existing part number

This makes it easier to check compatibility and reduces the risk of incorrect orders.

Repair instead of throwing away

Especially for higher-quality electronic dartboards, replacing a single wear part can be much more sensible than buying a completely new device.

This not only saves costs but can also extend the service life of the existing board.

Typical repairable areas can be:

• Segments
• Power supply
• Buttons
• Sensors
• Fastening
• Wiring
• Housing parts

Spare parts for clubs and regular use

Electronic dartboards in club rooms or shared areas are subject to significantly more stress than a sporadically used home device.

In this case, it may be useful to keep frequently needed wear parts in stock.

Depending on the board, these include, for example:

• Replacement segments
• Soft-tip dart points
• Power supplies
• Fasteners
• Smaller mechanical components

This allows minor defects to be repaired more quickly.
