I know this a stupid question, but for some random reason that I don't know of, my DS D-pad buttons are screwed up, everytime I press the down D-pad button, it gets stuck and can only be unpressed if I press the up D-pad button or something, this same thing happens with the both left and right D-pad buttons also, I seriously need help...my parents said they won't buy me a new DS...
I know what your going threw my buttons L and R are messed up on my ds lite specially when i try to shoot or zoom in on metroid prime hunters it really sucks cause it makes it difficult 2 play the game just give it a smack hit it agains something the part that doesnt work till it works it worked for me.
Rabid wolverine? In all seriousness, take the toothpick method, but soak the crap out of it in 90% or better isopropyl alcohol (the higher the better, you want it to evaporate without leaving water behind to do damage) first (the toothpick not the ds). Also, alcohol is electronics friendly, so don't be shy about cleaning the whole system with it.
says on the nintendo website.. if its stuck - use a toothbrush to clean.. my L button was screwed up too.. but it wasnt cuz its stuck.. just stopped responding.. sent it to nintendo to fix but still didnt get it back.. been 2 weeks already.. status is still repairing -_-"
I dont know what to do about the D-pad (maybe you could get a tri wing screw driver, take the casing off of the DS and clean it directly) but for the L and R buttons, all you really need to do is put your mouth around it and blow hard
