Gaming Nintendo DS lite Soft "A" Button

[Maget]

It happened a few months ago and wasn't severe but now its fallen all the way in and became very sensitive.When I play my games,a simple vibration will cause the "A" button to Toggle.Is there a way to fix it?

get a knife and rip it out

Button conductor rubber is tear. Send your DS to nintendo or fix it yourself - buy a button rubber conductor replacement.

Derp derp derp! I can fix things! :B

I had this problem too once, send it in to Nintendo to get it fixed. Or you could do the replacement yourself if your warranty is void.

As stated by tomrev, the conductive pad under the button is ripped. If you are knowledgeable about opening a DS Lite, you should be fine replacing it by yourself.

You can buy a set from here for almost nothing:

Remember, if you do order from them, it will take a while to reach to you at this time of year(Christmas and New Year).
