I noticed this this morning. In order to shoot on MPH and Dementium, or use an item on Mario Kart, i need to press really hard on the L Button. Can anyone give me advice on this?

Same thing happend to me and same with my Xbox 360 RB. I just press on the right-most side of the button. IDK it helps for both controllers for me. But you still kind of have to press hard. It's really annoying. But yeah I don't think I explained this very well, but I'll explain it better if you don't understand it.:?

Yup, you suck it (not with your tongue!) then blow. Above Poster is right, but do that in the hole. I've got to do it often, it annoys me...but at least my L & R buttons work for a while (then get stuck AGAIN).

That's disgusting. You can save yourself the humiliation and send it off to Nintendo for repair if it is still under warranty.

I'm glad you didn't have to make out with your DS to get it to work.

^ Ha

Anyways, I already had this problem, and had posted it in a thread. If you were to look below a few posts up to page 2, or typed in broken buttons to the furoms search page, you would had most likely found my post.

Anyways, blowing with hot breath always works for me

I've had mine over a year, almost 2, so I don't have that luxury...

L O L, that made me laugh so hard! xD. But anyways, the trick works...you just gotta do it often...

Anyways, tell yourself that you're pretty lucky for having your L button broken instead of the middle flip thing that links your 2 screens. I didn't even change the shell yet, and I'm sure I'm gonna break something o_O.
