Greetings, all! I am interested in repairing the shoulder buttons on my New Nintendo 3DS myself. If anyone has done this already or have any tips for me before I dive in, let me know.

Thanks! <3

Hey David,

ifixit.com has a great guide on opening up your 3DS and swapping the shoulder buttons. Good luck!

I tried to insert the page as a hyperlink and it didn't seem to work, so here is the URL: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nintendo+3DS+Right+Shoulder+Button+Replacement/5644

I've repaired the left(I think) shoulder button in my Gf's DS. I think you might need a tri-wing screw driver, and a replacement shoulder button. I got both from dealextreme, but amazon is probably faster. The repair was a bit delicate, but I pulled it off. Disassembly was easy iirc. Fix it! The DS is a great console.
