Hello guys! I have a question about my 3DS console. About 5 or 6 months ago, I started noticing that the A button is not as responsive but, it hasn't really been a problem until now. I realized that the A button just randomly lets up while I am playing Mario Kart and trust me, that's not the best strategy to winning a race. I did a bit more research into the subject matter and I have 4 options from here. Just so you know, I have A9LH installed and a few out-of-region games installed.
- I could disassemble my 3DS and fix/replace the contact for the A button myself. Aprox. Price Range: $20 - $200 ($200 if I f*ck something up and just have to go with Option 4)
- I could send the console into Nintendo for a 'somewhat' cheap repair. Aprox. Price Range: $80 - $200 ($200 if Nintendo decides to say, "F*ck you for hacking our console! We're not sending it back!" and I have to go with Option 4)
- I could hire someone to do the repairs for me. Aprox. Price Range: $? - $200 (I don't know how much people are charging these days and I would have to go with Option 4 if they f*ck something up)
- I could simply buy a new 3DS altogether (I really would like a New 3DS XL ) Aprox. Price Range: $19.95 - $330 ($19.95 if I buy a used O3DS from eBay or $330 if I want a New 3DS XL from Walmart (Pretty damn expensive for a portable game console if you ask me )
