I've had mine since launch day, but it's starting to squeak a lot. I might need to upgrade to a lite and retire my classic. *SADNESS*
I'm still very suprised by this. I've been blowing cartriges for years to get them to work, but I never thought that concept would work on buttons. If only I knew this a year ago I could have saved my blue DS........
It's happened to mine. The contacts inside could just be dirty. There are some Youtube videos of people cleaning it out with water and a Q-tip. I just had that problem but 15 minutes ago and found a really quick and easy fix that worked for me. Take your lips and form a perfect seal around the L button and then blow a few times. It blows the dust out from inside where you can't normally reach (damn tri-wing screws). It's kind of like the theory behind blowing in old school NES games. I swear this is no joke, it worked for me surprisingly (least technically involved troubleshooting I've ever had to do...I was SO surprised). I hope this helps!SonOfTheSky05
The only problem with blowing is that you're throwing out little bits of saliva when you do... that could actually cause the contacts on a cart to corrode overtime. (though I suppose it won't harm your DS)
