Hold DS in a way that the cleaner fluid will drain out of trigger and not get all the way inside to the screen.
Be sure to follow up with a can of air and let dry out before powering back on.


I was going to suggest this too, but I figured Jim doesn't have any and the battery should be taken out first even if going to spray without disassembly as I'm pretty sure contact cleaner is conductive. With the battery out, could try hosing in a gab next to the button and pressing it a log and then wait a few hours until it dries. Of course taking it apart to get at it would be best.CRTGAMER wrote:Myabe some contact cleaner used sparingly? Might wash out whatever is causing the sticking and clean contacts as well.

Good point, REMOVE that battery first to avoid a short.Hobie-wan wrote:I was going to suggest this too, but I figured Jim doesn't have any and the battery should be taken out first even if going to spray without disassembly as I'm pretty sure contact cleaner is conductive.
