I bought used NDS few days ago and I have a little problem. When i'm pressing down direction on dpad it creaks. It stops for a while after a puff into dpad (there is a slit around it) but then it happens again and its a little annoying. So i wonder if somebody knows what could help me with this problem? There is some kind of rubber under dpad or something?

Hmm. That's weird. The D-Pad always made a click sound, is this sound more like a squeak? I don't know what could be the problem.

Yes its more like squeak and while the down direction is making that sound its a little bit more resistant. Sometimes its coming back to normal position (after pressing it) a little bit longer than the rest of the directions :/

Isopropyl alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol) is what I use to clean plastic parts.
You could take it apart to make it easier to clean the grim out of the d-pad.
Just be sure to let the alcohol evaporate before applying power to the device.

The sounds comes because the D-pad is battered. So there is plastic powder in those plastic pieces. Just clean it with alcohol.
*Don't even think about drinking it in the same time. Too risky. :D*

Ok so I opened my console. Everyting inside is CLEAN etc. Ok, I took out those buttons and rubber which is under them. Both looks clean and everything is ok but still i cleaned it with alcohol and then assembled everything. Everything was good for about an hour... I was playing, pressing down direction etc and now it returns back to squeaking. Its just... LOL
