Hardware Fail making?

[Narblet]

So, in hopes of keeping my 3ds perfect, I've been cleaning it everyday to make sure nothing happens to it, and as I was playing KH, I was jumping around, and after a cutscene, my B button suddenly stopped working, and I can't jump anymore =(. The button seems to be stuck, becasue if I enter another map, it jumps at the start of it, and sticks a bit, which is what happens when B is held down. Is there any way to fix this without having to send it to Nintendo? Thanks.

Did other games do this or is it just KH?

I'll test that right now.

Wow. That stinks..your (B) button already broke? And when you take really good care of it too...I didn't think there was any way to fixit without sending it in/returning it.

Same thing happens with other games.

Try hitting the back of the 3DS to see if it will pop back out.

Hmm, then maybe you could somehow blow into it? Maybe something got stuck under it.

I don't know really, as I never heard of the b button doing this.

 

[Narblet]

Well, Blowing on it, and slapping the back of the DS haven't worked.

Try pressing it rapidly until it comes back out.

Won't come back up >.

My A button stopped working properly a few weeks ago, but after shaking my 3DS a lot for coins (didn't have the time to send it back to the USA so I went collecting puzzle pieces and streetpassing them to my friend so I could get them back when I'd get my replacement) it started working fine again. Seems like the button mats aren't properly fixated or something.

I'll try that ^^.
