Replacing shoulder buttons on the DS Lite, tutorials?

Post by Ivo »

Hi,

In youtube I only find crappy videos. Does anyone know of a good place to look for tutorials on replacing shoulder buttons on the DS Lite?

I have the tri-screwdriver and a replacement conductive pad (as the button works partially I'm hoping it's not the switch itself), but I'm afraid of trying it without some guidance.

This video might be helpful



you can follow it up to the part where the bottom casing is removed.

Once it is off you should be able to access the trigger assemblies.

Thanks! It is a lot better than the video I had.

My R shoulder button is acting up again (3 years later). I opened it up and there seems to be contact of the plastic with the microswitch when pressed (the microswitch is on a little cube that seems soldered onto the board). Is there anything I can do about this?
