Problem for Nintendo DS Lite Console
R-Button/L-button
By MarioMan94 on Jul 12, 2007
My R-button won't work properly. If I press real hard, it works, but doesn't stay pressed. My friend's had the same problem, except the L-button. Any suggestions?

- Yeah, i figured that the best way is to get it repaired, but $40 IS a lot of money. Thanx for the suggestion.Actually, i fixed it for now by blowing directly in it (in the spaces between the shoulder button) but i don't know if it will stay fixed.
Same Problem

- L shoulder button isn't working unless I press almost too hard.sucks.- Guest

- my l button sticks and ive tryed everything i think theres something stuck in it when i press it down it stayes down so i cant play any gun games i need help- hydrax345May 06, 2009
- I have had the same problem with my SP, DS, (First one No second one and third one Yes) and DS Lite. For my SP and my second DS The L button didn't work properly. For my SP I noticed that a while back in 2004 when I was playing Mega Man Zero 3. For my Second DS I noticed it when playing Mega Man Battle Network (can't remember which number) and it wouldn't let me go to my folder to use a new chip. For my Third DS both the L Button and R button didn't work which I found out while playing Mega Man ZX, Dragon Ball Z Super Sonic Warriors 2, Naruto Ninja Council 3, and Mario Kart. My DS Lite which I got as an early Birthday gift on May 28th (May 29th is my Birthday) for getting good grades last year had the same problem. It's L and R Button didn't work which I found out while playing Mario Kart it wouldn't let me drift or use my picked up item and my Dragon Ball Z Super Sonic Warriors 2 game it wouldn't let me power up or use my tag team special. But I found out how to fix it (well it works for me) If you blow into the L and or R button through the cracks of it on it's corner it will start to work for a little while or longer it depends.I hope my way of fixing my DS Lite also works for you like it did for me. :]Ne-Yo Year of thhe Gentleman- Guest

- My R-button isnt workingEven if i press down real hard it doesn't work
does anyone know where i can get it fixed?- skinnyminime

I had the same problem with my DS Lite where both the R and L botton were not working. The R would work sometimes but I could get no response from the L botton. After looking at the video on YouTube I tried blowing hard around the L and R key and they both started working. I wonder if it is just dust.

It is probably the circuit board that is messing up. it does not cost a lot to fix. i suggest that you get it fixed. it is about $40 or so.

This happened to my ds lite aswell. It was simply a matter of taking apart the ds and putting back a misplaced spring. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Ok.
This is a very easy problem to fix.
I fixxed mine like this.
Just pull the button out of it's place, and completely remove it. there will be a little bar, and a thin spring. Those aren't needed anymore so you can toss them out.
Then just put it back in place.
It works WAY BETTER THAN new.
If you have any questions, Look me up on myspace(smash_csx@hotmail.com) or message me on msn.

the spring on the button may have come loose. if you know somone who is very very good with working on electronic devices then they could do it easy. if your feeling daring you could look for a ds disasembly video on youtube or something. and take it apart yourself. but you might want to buy the special Tri-swing screw driver to open it up. that and a very small philips. i found that if u dont have a tri-wing. a very small flat head will open it too.

know whats kinda funny? My psp wasnt working on the right button, and i flicked it hard and it started working but not for long, so it's probably a common prblem on hand helds. heres three pieces of advice:
1. dont use it evevevevevevevvevevevevevevevevvever again.
2. keep flicking it when it stops working.
3. get it checked out.
now, it would be good to get a ds fixed, because its way cheaper than getting a psp fixed. a psp fixed costs 82$, so my psp will probably be broken forever.

i have the same problem the best thing to do is push it hard as mentioned earlier do this multiple times eventually it will go back to normal for a wile after that i would use it lightly it may come back much worse so be careful with it sometimes it won't be as bad it might be different cuss im using a gba sp but its smiler to the ds so it should work
Yes
No

The purpose for the spring is to push the button back to the up position. If the button works only when you push it hard then the switch was probably bent back out of position. Was the unit dropped? Call Nintedo this can be repaired.

ah, this is a simple (free) repair.
1. get a tissue and wet it a little.
2. squeeze a little water in the cack (it won't hurt on ds, i have no idea about the psp)
3. get a tissue and wrap some tissue around it (works with a Q-itp, however the toothpick is easier)
4. clean out some of the dirt between the cracks
5.enjoy
i had this same problem with my ds and searched "fix ds l and r buttons" and got excellent results. it worked on my l button but not my r button (however, i'm still working on it)

Probably will if you buy one of those dust remover spray for gaming consoles, you could try to use it to blow off debris and dust that might of went inside. This worked for my system.

both my DS' L and R were completely non-functional. This was the case for well over three months. Just as I was going to send in for repairs. I googled this, and vola, this fixxed my problem in about 4 minutes.

I had the same problem with the L-Button, Googled the problem, brought me here and WHOA! The whole covering it with your mouth and blowing thing totally worked, instantly. That was awesome. Try that before anything else.
Comment by Guest, posted on May 15, 2008
I had the same problem with both the r and l buttons, and I swear to god this worked for me. I was reading stuff on the internet and I read that if you blow on the button with your mouth sealing the button, it will clean any dust that was keeping the button from responding. It actually works, I bought Metroid Prime Hunters and couldn't jump or shoot, but now I can.
