N3DSXL — A-Button requires significant pressure to input.
So, I’ve had my 3DS XL around for maybe five or six years, maybe more, maybe less. It’s never had any problems like this before, ever, but all of a sudden the A-button requires a lot more pressure to properly input anything, whereas the other three buttons work perfectly fine.
I’ve changed out the silicon bit between both the buttons and the motherboard, though that seemed to make things worse for a little bit, as that only led to the buttons feeling just a touch more clunky and unsurprisingly didn’t fix my issue. I’ve boiled it down to either I need to clean out the sticker between the motherboard and the buttons, or to replace the sticker entirely, which won’t be all too hard since they’re fifty cents at the very worst. As an FYI, I’ve done some heavy mashing on the A-button, which kind of came naturally and is obviously the source of the problem. I’d rather not try to have this happen once every few years until I decide I’m done with it entirely, though.
Any suggestions?
