Yup, no problem with mine either, and I use the L button a lot when I play. I know about the whole L button thing, I'm grateful mine hasnt had this problem and I've had it since late 2006.*knocks on wood*

Try sealing your lips around the L button and blow into it. There's supposedly dirt in there. I have exactly the same problem. No problems at the moment but Im sure you know it comes at the worst possible times.

Its almost always a build up of crap in there. I Open my DS up about once every 4 months and clear the crap from behind the L button. When you blow into it your saliva might temporary clear the press but it just causes the next set of gunk to stick and not come out. I just suggest openning it from time to time.

I can tell that it would be easy to break it, but I never have. Guess you should be more careful.

L for Lite. Though mine still works. Depends how you look after your DS.
