Hello,
my volume rocker is going for retire.
Firstly, month ago my volume up was not working. Actually it was, but i had to press harder and harder...
Now volume down is also infected, and stopped working normally. I have to press harder.

Has anybody experienced this ? Do i need new button, or also ribbon flex cable ?

I have the same thing here on my 2 years old ds... Though it's not really hard to press (maybe twice as normal), and is only on volume down button... Dunno about what to do... :D

Search Youtube for the DS Tear-down video. You can get to the volume buttons quite easily. It may be that dust has got under them, or they may need replacing. If they do need to be replaced then it's only a fairly small component - I'll try to dig something out for you.

So is mine. Exercise your fingers,or use nails to rock the volume. Yer rockers are set for doom in about a year. No kidding.

I think this is the only problem of my good ol DS.
I might try the teardown when I have time.
