Make sure that the button is seated properly in the DS body. I've had a shoulder button "slip" out of its housing a little bit, just had to gently push it forward a bit, and it worked fine.

Also, if you just bought it a week and a half ago, Nintendo shouldn't have any problem with replacing it. Nintendo's customer service is top notch. I bought at DS Lite at launch, and it had 5 or so dead pixels on the top screen. I called them, and within a few days I received a new DS along with the box to send the old one back in.

So don't be afraid of talking with Nintendo's customer service. They're really nice and they don't treat you like you're trying to scam them like some other customer service departments. they'll take care of you

But they are like Cabelas. But not as nice, Cabelas is rated one of the nicest customer service departments, and they are in America, but I digress.

HAHA! Your f***ing hilarious!!!

Sorry, bad experience with GBA SP. Snapped the screen 'cause I got pissed at DK Country. I had to pay $60 for the SP, the charger was $20, but I didn't need it. Nice guys, but you pay for your mistakes.

so, you expected nintendo to replace your GBA for free because YOU snapped it?

oh that sounds like a great reason to hate the customer service.

I got a better, easy solution. Go to the game store you bought it from, and tell them there's a problem with the buttion. Standard

HAHA! NO YOUR ****ing hilarious!!! You got pissed at DK Country, broke your SP AND expected them to fix/replace it for free? Classic!

Its like purposely setting your house on fire and demanding payment from your insurance company!
