My childhood DSi has had it's L/R buttons not work (or at least rarely work) for a while now, and I ignored it since I have a N3DS to play on instead. But I wanted to fix it since I could use it for local co-op on NDS(i) games with friends.
So I tried the usual, assuming there was dust between the actual switch and the physical shell, trying to blow it out but it didn't work.
I opened it up to check underneath to see if anything was blocking it and nope, I can't see anything.
But when I put it back together, the screens had this wavy almost VHS filter effect, and if I push the DSi REALLY hard together, it kinda goes away a little?
I've attached some images I took while I had it opened, let me know if you need me to photograph any other part more clearly!
