Has the L and R buttons to your 3DS Stopped Working? Feeling the need to chuck the damn thing across the room in anguish and anger? Resigned yourself to playing only Pokemon, Virtual Console, or just buying a new one?

Well fear not for I have found the answer!

The Trigger Buttons (L & R buttons for those not familiar with XBox controllers) are made (poorly I might add) so that while giving awesome usability but have nasty habit of collecting dust. So when they stop working, it's not because they quit on ya but more along the lines that the buttons are blocked with dust.

Now then, here's how you fix it. Next to the L and R buttons is a small hole. See that hole? If yes, Good. if not, look harder. Once you've located the holes, press the  trigger buttons down and blow into each hole as you hold them.

That's it.

I sh*t you not, that's it.

My 3DS trigger buttons haven't been working for nearly 2 months. How the heck do you think I feel knowing that there was a simple solution that's not exactly common knowledge?

Too bad I don't have a 3DS to test that out on.
