I was playing Mario Kart when suddenly my L button on my DS stopped working. This is the first time this has happened, and I was hoping that people could post advice and price estimates for me as a look at Nintendo.com. Even posting experiences could be of use.

And yes, this is another "I broke my DS" thread. I'm just worried and am in need of advice.

Thanks -

Hmmm, well it cost's roughly some air from your lungs. lol, seriously, all it probably is is that some dust got in there. If you look around on the forums, you'll see where several people have had this problem in the past (myself included). Just put your mouth over the side of the button and blow hard a few times. That will most likely fix the problem. Keep in mind if that doesn't work the first time, just try it a few more times. Also, it will likely need the same treatment on several consequent uses of the ds. Just remember to blow into the button whenever it stops working.

If you actually want to get it repaired at a store, I've done it a few times, it costs $25 (Canadian Dollars)

You can still fix it yourself. Try blowing it, on the sides. Hot breath can also work. It sounds crazy I know, but my L button works 100% of the time now(used to be a bit faulty)

Thanks so much to everyone who replied. When I woke up this morning, I gently and warmly blew into the L button, and it immediately started working.

Thanks again.
