@ladytech oh I know. And it's hilarious to me. The rest of the stupidity I find techs doing? Not so much... picture if you will a refrigeration condenser. Apparently it had a hole in the condenser. Rather than replace condenser coil, they ran copper to.an abandoned ice machine condenser.... the stupidity knows no limits. I refused to touch that unit.

Bonjour il y a rien que cela à faire pour dézonner ?

Hello,

My Dual Shock 2 is still working well after all these years! However, the left analog stick is becoming increasingly squeaky, and has begun to stick on rare occasion, but still functions near perfectly 99.9% of the time. Is there a simple trick to loosen the stick, and perhaps any buttons such as square and X, to prevent squeaking and sticking, using a household lubricant product such as WD 40?

Thank you,
Daniel McNamara

The back plate of a New 3DS XL is a bit tricky to take off because of some plastic clips. I suggest looking at some YouTube videos on removing the back plate and replacing the shoulder buttons. These buttons often break because of the pressure when they are dropped on the corner. Here is a video I suggest watching:

Here is also a video on how to take off the back cover, which is a bit tricky:

Did you ever drop the system or have accidentally gotten water on it?
