Hardware \ Broken/Stuck Shoulder Buttons

Who still has there DS phat or have a Lite and the shoulder buttons don't work. I still have a phat but I can't even play Mario Kart any more because of the R button doesn't work any more. It really sucks.

Did you try to take it apart or something? Stuck buttons means that either the spring connector broke, or your spring snapped out, and it usually only happens when you've tried to dismantle your DS.

Yeah I've done all of that to check it, I think the thing is just very old. I might buy a Lite pretty soon, when I get the money. I hear a lot of people are having trouble with this, but only on the original DS. Maybe it was soldered weirdly. Nintendo doesn't even want to fix this problem, or if they will, I might as well buy a brand new DS for the price they want to charge.

Well i have had my ds phat since the launch date and i have had no problems with it wat so ever.Only the fact that it does'nt run games very well and sometimes says "Please insert ds card" But i have already put it in.
I think the fact is that your ds is just getting a bit older then everyone elses and its starting to have a couple of malfunctions with the system and how it operates.
