It is such a pain in the ass, and I’m in genuine disbelief that there has not been a software made to completely disable certain buttons the 3DS given how commonplace this is. I have tried brute-forcing the ZL button. Not to take out, but putting excess amounts of pressure on it to see if it’ll fix the issue. This isn’t the first time this has happened, it’s happened before, but it usually fixed itself, or if I rebooted the system. Which makes this even scarier for me because if it’s a software issue, I’m gonna be really sad. I would rather not open my 3DS and fool around with ribbon cables. Especially since I have only seen one video/guide for messing with the shoulder buttons. Not even iFixit had anything, I also wouldn’t really know where to start or buy new buttons. I just bought this thing the other day. Please help.

To help further clarify my issue, I’m going to record a video of myself pressing the button and showing that there is literal zero change.

If anyone knows of any other forums I can post this, I’ll happily cross post. I’ve seen very few threads about it on gbatemp, and the majority of the replies boil down to “just fix it.”
