I have a new 3dsxl , and starting yesterday the "R" button for some reason does not respond to pressing R. However, when i enter a game, it seems the R button is automatically pressing R. an example is when looking in a pokemon box, or choosing between different ISLANDS, it constantly pressed r to shift to the next box or island without stopping. and i can only temporarily stop it by pressing L, or another button. This also happen in Badge Arcade, where it constantly shifts between the arcade, because i can see the R button on the top right corner being constantly activated, only stopping temporarily.
I decided open up the 3ds to look at the shoulder R, button.(11.4 SYSTEM, and it does have homebrew on it, no cfws, or any downgrading)
I thought the spring was loose or something, as other online forums suggested, but when i checked it dint seem out of the ordinary, the shoulder button ZR dint have the same issue as the r. the R button was slightly dirty, but i cleaned up. I reattached all the cables back, after unattaching them, turned on the game, and still did the same thing, automatically pressing on the R button, without any mechanical pressure on the button. Also i can click the camera button with just the L button, since the R is on auto.
Second thing i did was attach the cable thing to the n3dsxl "circuit/motherboard" but did not screw the shoulder buttons back in place. It still did the same thing, auto pressing the r. The only way i could stop it is, not-connecting the shoulder button. I looked on some other forums, shortcircuiting from water or other liquids couldve caused the auto-pressing, or i did drop it quite a few times, but it only noticed it yesterday.
even without the spring in place it did nothing. Is the spring important.
The last issue is the home button, for some reason it works somewhat fine if i press the home button while in a game, it goes into the main menu, However, when I try the same thing when i pressed the power button which showed "power off" or return to home menu, by pressing the button, it does not work.
Anyone had this issue? i also checked around for damage, nothing seems out of the ordinary then the r button seems a little "worn" not alot from overuse.
