According to one embodiment, a terminal control substrate includes a base plate (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) mounted on a terminal device, a first module (112, 212, 312, 412, 512) fixed to the base plate (110, 210, 310, 410, 510), an
external connection terminal (113, 213a to 213c, 313, 413a to 413c, 513a to 513c) fixed to the base plate (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) and to which a component comprising a second module being a substitute for the first module (112, 212, 312, 412, 512) is attachable, a controller (111, 211, 311, 411, 511) configured to perform control in the terminal device by using the first module (112, 212, 312, 412, 512) or the second module, and a switching unit (114, 214, 314, 414, 521) configured to switch a connection destination of the controller (111, 211, 311, 411, 511) to any one of the first module (112, 212, 312, 412, 512) and the
external connection terminal (113, 213a to 213c, 313, 413a to 413c, 513a to 513c) to which the second module is attached.
