I have a DSi that is in very good condition but for the right shoulder button. It does work but I have to press very hard to get it to register. The “lift up the button and blow into it” does actually improve the function of the button for a bit (I use canned air, not moist mouth) but it doesn’t take long at all to NOT work either. Does anyone have a REAL solution that actually works short of disassembly and replacement of the button?

It’s going to be pretty hard to properly clean the button without opening it up since there isn’t a good way to get cleaner into them.

Anything and everything about retro and modern console repair.

If you’ve got a broken gaming console you are trying to fix, come here to talk about it. If you want to flex about a repair, post here. If you or your console’s last lover did a non-destructive electronic mod to their console, or have a question about the options available or how to do it, you are welcome to post here.

If you suck at soldering, we still love you, but we might roast you.

If you did an extreme modification such as turning one of the few Nintendo Playstations into a Rubik’s Cube, flex elsewhere. If you’re trying to FIX a Nintendo Playstation that someone turned into a Rubik’s Cube, post away!
