Hacking Springs in L and R Buttons

[Sportsmaniac1322]

So I'm doing a case replacement on my DS, and while I'm nearly to the end and feeling pretty proud of myself, I realize that I've dropped the springs for the L and R buttons. Now my DS has no shoulder buttons. Does anyone know of a place that sells these separately, or am I going to have to buy a broken DS on eBay to get it?

did you not get some spares with the kit!?

you could try a MAGNET to try find them by running it around on the floor in the area you are working on it

edit forgot that dslite uses different springs to the phat doh!

Really? $10 for that? That's way overpriced! I might be forced to do that though if I can't find any others cheaper.

a little cheaper.....
How much is it worth to you?

I guess it's fine. I was just expecting it to be around $2-3. Has you or anybody else had any experience buying from these stores?
