Ok, it's not that the X button is bad or anything. I just notice that with all the other buttons, I just gotta lightly press them, while with the X button I gotta press it slightly harder to make it work. Is that normal? Can I make it better?
Did you clos.... just kidding
Maybe cleaning helps (i can't help you with that I am always scared to damage technical parts while cleaning) but otherwise you will probably have to live with it.
I will test it thoughTested it for me there was no difference between the x of a normal 3ds and a new one (the small one)
Actually medicinal alcohol is the most safe way to clean electronics. I would suggest to remove the battery and drop a few drops of medicinal alcohol between the crack of the button the press it a couple of times to let the medical alcohol wash the contacts which are most likely dirty or something.
He probably used nail polish which is a big no no. Just go to your local pharmacy and ask for a little bottle of pure medicinal alcohol. Drop a few drops with the battery out, mash the buttons a couple of times and let the alcohol evaporate. I did this dozens of times on my old iPhone's home button and it worked every time just don't use anything else than medicinal alcohol.I know but I got a little paranoid after my friend's 3ds got busted when he used alcohol to clean it. LOL
I actually DO have a contact cleaner... Durp. Will try and report back later.
