A couple of days ago my 3DS' x button stopped working unless I applied a lot of pressure, I found this odd because it was so sudden, so I opened my 3DS hoping to remove whatever was obstructing the button. After a few scares while opening it ( I had never done it before) I found nothing physically obstructing the button, or the contact with the circuit board, does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?
Yes, I saw it, and mine was much cleaner, lol. I tried everything there except peeling the contacts because I was scared of doing that, I guess I'll bite the bullet and try it, thanks for the help anyways.
You can reapply the same contacts even after lifting them to clean underneath. Even if the adhesive is worn out and no longer sticky, the contacts are held in place securely once you screw everything back together, so you don't have to worry too much about damaging them. Just don't use a tool that's too sharp. It's safest to use just your fingernails so you don't scratch the motherboard..
The adhesive is very strong, but if you just peel back slowly with your fingernail or a toothpick the contacts should come up. If it's only the X button that you're having trouble with you don't need to peel the whole thing off. Just try to peel up the section of the contact pad for the X button and you can leave the other 3/4ths alone.

@AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.+2 -

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
