I opened it up and couldn't find anything wrong with it, so the microswitch or something must have died. I'd order a replacement button to solder it, but I've never done soldering nor have a tiny soldering pen either.<br><br>I just wished the white DSi came to the States. It would have been a nice replacement for my white Lite. That worked for my r button a few times, but now it's actually totally busted, with no response whatsoever.

Apparently the L/R buttons can sometimes be affected by dust/dirt. That was the advice a friend of mine got when he had that same issue and it worked for him...

Imagine my surprise when the non-optional tutorial in Lock's Quest asked me to press the L button. :( Yeah… my L button doesn't work anymore.

If Nintendo were to lower DS lite prices right now, around summer, people getting summer jobs are going to save up their , what? First paycheck? and get a DS lite; it'll be cheaper, and still functional. And in many of our cases, people who bought a DS lite earlier on would likely consider purchasing one to replace our older one. Let's face it, we've put a lot of hours into our DS. My "L" and "R" buttons are starting to get less sensitives from playing too much Mario Kart, and my friend's "D-pad" is barely picking up the signals. We're both looking into getting a new DS lite, and a price cut would fit right into our designs. That being said, Nintendo can't refuse to cut the price merely on the basis of profiteers looking to get a new DS lite and tough it out until the first DSi price cut. Well, it makes sense.
