DS Misc > Shoulder button is broken

#128166 - Cluster - Wed May 09, 2007 7:38 am

Hello. My english is no so good, sorry for this.

I have DS lite. And my "R" shoulder button has broken. I have disassembled DS. The problem has appeared in the tact switch.

I unsoldered it. But I need another switch to replace it... Сan somebody tell me which model is it?
I found only this: http://www.chipdip.ru/product0/2248.aspx
But it seems that switch in DS is less on height.

Thanx.

what you should do is just put it back together with the switch soldered back, then get a repair which should be completly free if you bought it less then a year ago :)

(i had this same problem but my ds was also starting to crack so im getting it repaired now)

My DS has the same problem, only with the left shoulder button. I'd really like to find a replacement button I can solder on, so if anyone has any ideas, please post!

I bought my DS over a year ago, so I can't send it in under warranty. And I'm not that happy about paying Nintendo's repair fee just for a 10p button.
