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.
dude it worked
I just blew hard around my ds's shoulder buttons right now and i am still thanking the ALMIGHTY GOD because as soon as i blew around it, started working little by little but with my unrelenting faith in GOD, i pressed a few more times and to my uttermost surprise it started working perfectly.so i'm saying a big THANK YOU to GOD ALMIGHTY,and also to soccorman.I'M SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO EXCITED!!!
it worked it saved me 29.99
it work for me,thanks. plus it was only dust around the! :-D

Just form a seal on your lips and blow on it.
It worked for me!
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!
no thanks mabye you could blow on it that work for me, instead of taking it apart.

Blown in it but put your mouth on the button as of your going to kiss it........ I know it sounds wired but trust me it WILL work
it work for me

I fixed mine by blowing into it and if that didn't work press L repeatly
I know that any device with a key or button has the following:
Underneath the button is a magnetic strip that, when pressed, sends a signal to the device and activates a certain function, depending on what button is pressed. When the magnetic strip is covered by anything (dust, etc), it can be irresponsive. That's why blowing in it can fix it.
First, Wipe the button with a dry tissue or napkin or whatever. Then Lick the button edges. yes I said it, LICK IT. then blow on it to dry it off, don't use a napkin of tissue, blow on it. Then it should work. I hope this helped. :)(:
I have the same problem with the R button just Blow real Hard in the cracks of the R and it should work!
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.
I will suggest to all of you to bring it to the GBA repairman..they're lots of new parts of GBA...the button is a simple problem..their is many parts of it..if you are near in recto manila..there is a lot of thechnician of all Gadgets..affordable cost..and they are proffesional of all Gadgets trouble..:] thenkyz
I tried pressing it really hard and it worked.
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)
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.
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 $40 or so. connie
LOL. what the hell man. It really worked. I bet the nintendo guys repair the L and R buttons like this aswell. Just blew in it and problem solved. After that they give you a repair bill of 82 dollars for the hard work they put in to resolve it.
Ok so what i did is i lifted the L button shoulder ALMOST all the way. i was going 2 take the hole thing off, bbut i couldnt. well, it worked and wasnt a pain in the a**
I have the same problem the best thing to do is push it hard as mentioned earlier do this multiple times eventually it will go back to normal for a wile after that i would use it lightly it may come back much worse so be careful with it sometimes it won't be as bad it might be different cuss im using a gba sp but its smiler to the ds so it should work
I would say you should go and get it fixed.(if you have the money to do it)i recommend not to take it apart.if so,you might just make it worse or cause a new problem.call the nintendo customor support center.they will explain your problem to you and fix.call:1-800-255-3700
Know whats kinda funny? My psp wasnt working on the right button, and i flicked it hard and it started working but not for long, so it's probably a common prblem on hand helds. heres three pieces of advice:
1. dont use it evevevevevevevvevevevevevevevevvever again.
2. keep flicking it when it stops working.
3. get it checked out.
now, it would be good to get a ds fixed, because its way cheaper than getting a psp fixed. a psp fixed costs 82$, so my psp will probably be broken forever.
Also you can put water on it only a bit then hit the L-R buttons after that you blow in the L-R button it will work. If it dosen't work try aging trurst me it will work
Press a if yuo wan't to catch a pokemon
Blowing on the gameboy button fixed my r button, this is probably because it is blowing out any debris that is between the button and the plastic.
Blowing in it works my ds L button has been broken for weeks I blew into it and it is working like new
Got the same problem here (the L button thingy)
and guess what? marioman94's suggestion did work for me...
lol
This is ********
Ill try this...
The blowing did the job! I was skeptical at first but I tried it and it works again. Thank you so much.
YAYYY!! i fix it .... thanks for the help
Thanks to marioman94 and FalcWp it WORKS FIRST I BELW INTO IT and I didnt have to press as hard to make it work but after I formed a seal around it and bewl all i need to is just click it UNBELIVEABLE THANKS GUYS BEST SULUTION EVER!!!!
I have no clue how 2 fix it but the L button stopped workin on my ds lite too and it works every now and then but i have 2 press real hard i havent tried blowin in it yet though but ill try
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([email protected]) or message me on msn.
Wla
My R button for my Nintendo DS Lite isn't broken but for some reason it will work without me pressing it! I thought it was just on one game but it's the same for all my games that involve pressing the R button. What do I do?! Should I get it fixed or get a new componite?
Every time i go to that video link I end up with a useless advertisement!!!!
Go to youtube and check this guy, http://youtube.com/watch?v=FH16gO3Ry4A&mode=related&search=
he tells you how to fix it for free :)
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.
All u have to do is open your battery cover and dampen it with a wet cloth the problem to your r button is the battery leak
First close the ds and blow air from ur mouth into the buttons im having the same problem but that blowing thing realy works but you have to do it like every 32 hours

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.

The L button on my Nintendo DS lite will not work at all now. Any ideas how to fix it without having to send it off for repairs? I know someone who fixes electronics, should I let him try?

my ds r button just broke and its brand new wtf
My L-botton dose not work to but when I press it alot it work for a little while.
Both my L and R buttons dont work i think its dusty or i need to take em apart and play without em
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.
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.
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.
my L button looks fine but it wont work.i cant use my action replay cause my L button wont work.what should i do?
Unbelievable! That fixed it in just two seconds. Just blowing at it didn't work, but forming a seal with my mouth around the button and blowing worked perfectly! Can't believe that worked so well - thanks!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! My l button DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!
you need to lift the buttons up and move the stuff or just mess around in there it will work just wait one day or a couple of hours.

My Both L And R Buttons Of The Gameboy Advanced SP Are Not Working!What Should I Do Now?Can I Repair It?
My L button doesn't work what ever i try
My R-button isnt working
Even if i press down real hard it doesn't work
does anyone know where i can get it fixed?
i just got my DS Lite for Christmas and the L shoulder button worked on and off then it just stopped. then it would work if i didn't use it for a while. finally it just gave out and it won't work anymore.
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. :]
