Gameboy Avanced Sp Help

[Darth Fett]

Nooo!This cannot be!After years of good, hard playing, my poor little Sp's R button broke!That was on Christmas Eve.I got by okay, finding new ways to get through games without a R button, but now, just a few minuetes ago, the L button stopped working!I haven't dropped it, and it's lived nearly it's whole existence in my pocket.Does anyone know why the buttons arn't working? Please?

Just like how old peoples' hips wear out, shoulder buttons are usually the first thing to bite the dust when age settles in on a controller. It makes finding a decent SNES controller a real pain! I'd say all you can do is open her up and replace the tact switches. Another thing that might be wrong with it is that the little plastic nubs on the button that make the fulcrum have snapped. You can try to superglue it back together, but even if you succeed the button may feel tighter and not even move much anymore (but still click).

Just open it, desolder the tact switch, and solder a new one on. I don't know why so many people are confused by this...
