Hacking Replacing Shoulder button

[Mr. Waffle]

So since my shoulder button wasn't working anymore, even with blowing, I ordered a new one, together with a new screen and a shell replacement.
So my only question is: How do you replace a shoulder button? (R-Button in my case)
Thanks in advance

There are a lot of guides on the net I guess...

I've been using this one 2 times and well... my DS is still working perfectly...
So I hope it helps. But be warned: Replacing the shoulderbuttons is a pain in the arse... xD
The springs always jump off and you can start over again... You have to be really careful with them... ^^ Aaaand patient...

Well that is going to require more work why dont you send it in and let nintendo take care of it?

Out of warranty

I'm sending my DS to Nintendo tomorrow, because I've been noticing my left shoulder button only working about 60% of the time. There will be some nights I'll tap it six times, and it won't be till the seventh I receive a response. Then the next day it will work just fine, but since my warranty will be up in a few months I figured I might as well just have them take a look at it.
