Does it click when you press it or does it seem to be out of position? If so, that's an easy fit.To fix this you'd have to open up the DS and re position the button and the pin holding it in place.

If not that, its probably got something to do with the trigger inside the DS. When you press the shoulder buttons, they push into a button just below them on the motherboard, which sends a message to the DS. If that has fallen off or started malfunctioning in any way, it could definitely be causing this. You'd have to order one online (link provided to an example) NINTENDO DS LITE BUTTON SWITCH REPAIR PARTS 4 NEW and then solder it in after desoldering the other one, if you know how to do that.

If not, there are probably some repair guys with an ad on your local Craigslist who'd be happy to do it for you for a quick buck.

SOURCE: Nintendo DS lite "L" "R" button dont work

OK the buttons are probably dirty. I had this same problem with my DS. Pry open the outside edges of the buttons until there is a gap. Blow into the gap while making sure you dont spit in the console. This should clear out the dirt and make your buttons work.

Ds mic

My mic doesnt work properly, so i have to get at a certain angle to use it. I have sorta the same problem, so here's my answer. If you play Mario Kart DS, and are plaing the Balloon battle game, get a fan to blow into it. Works every time!

My son accidently vomited on his ds lie console and now it doesnt work?

Your DS Lite is more than likely fried. As you may know almost all electronics can survive fresh water encounters, but sadly vomit isn't fresh water. There isn't very much you can do, but pray, and hope it may work one day, or purchase a new Nintendo DS Lite.

Sorry about that.
