What do you do when you L+R buttons aren't working?

Blow into them.

Row row row your boat gently down the stream. Push the n00bs out of the boat and watch them as they scream.

You can send it to nintendo, or as mysticalZoey said blow in it (results not permanet), you have dirt in it or some forgin stuff, and you couldve used it so much there shot. but your best bet is blowin.

Pain is just weakness exiting the body.

Yes. More than 90% of the time, it's just some dirt getting under the button pads. You can alleviate this by forming a seal around the button with your lips and blowing a few times.

Very, very rarely is this a result of the solder coming loose or a frayed wire inside. In which case you are sure that the blowing solution did absolutely nothing, you'll want to ship it in for repairs.

Catch my drift.

Generally, blowing into them is a good fix, albeit, it isn't temporary.

It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.

History is written by liars just because somebody writes it down and calls it history doenst make it history

put your mouth to the button and kinda lick it. then blow, dry. tap on it a few times and it will work.

when they dont work git really close um in blow on umm it work

when the fight for life has not yet abandoned one's heart even if death seemed inevitable. Hope.

first, you have to pull the button up until you can see inside, then you have to blow in it. (tip: this works better if you have strong fingers)

Finally have pokemon X!!!

Blowing. Best way that won't damage it.

If idiots were planes, this place would be an airport.

What I do is Ragequit, throw my Dsi and watch it blow up. It works!

EVERYBODY LET'S GO

@redbarron1 that would break it.

Never had the problem.

Let's meet in the dream world again

if the trick doesn't work. then go replace it at game stop.

now my L+R button won't work? it hold down by it self?

I've been doing some research on this problem, and so far I've found that blowing into the button is a temporary solution.

When you blow air into the space between the button pad and the case, what you're actually doing is moving the metal clip that holds the button's underside to the frame. Unfortunately, the moisture that is incurred may damage the sensors and rust the clip. Seeing as the actually problem is the clip becoming old and not moving properly, you might consider compressed air to get it back to functionality.

So while blowing does work for a time, it could eventually become necessary to have the parts replaced.

Catch my drift.

i return my dsi to ebgames and get a brand new one, then i buy a new warrenty with the dsi, i'm on my4th dsi, each ones only cost me 35$ ;)
