Problem with my Ds (Hardware)

my L-trigger isn't working anymore. There seems to be a problem in the A button aswell (sometimes when playing Mario Kart, the car sometimes decelerrates). Aside from that, the touchscreen is malfunctioning as well (as if somene is always pointing at the lower right corner of the ds screen).

Are these problem still repairable?

If yes, would you reccomend buying a new DS instead of repairing?

my L trigger got busted due to that lost magic game (L button mashing hehe).. i'm pretty sure there are a lot of nintendo shops that can repair the button problems.. im not sure about the touchscreen though.. might cost you a lot.. i have my unit replaced because it was still under warranty.. good luck.. :)

If it's a year old or under it's covered by Nintendo and you just have to call them and set up a repair order

If it's over a year old just buy a new DS, it's not worth spending 2/3'rds of the price of one new for a repaired or refurbished model. Just grab a new one and get another one year warranty (that comes free of charge from Nintendo)

I would recommend taking it to a repair shop first, then if that doesn't work, buy another.

Thanks for the replies guys!

i tried calibrating the touch screen and it doesnt seem to help.

I've had the same touch screen problem since the first day I got my DS. I never found out what caused it, but it was negligible. Calibrating it does nothing BTW.pikaby
