DS Lite trigger repair, the proper way.

[@lowkeykenobi5039]

Finally replaced my DS lite shoulder button today. For those watching who don't have a (precise enough) soldering iron, dont worry. You have 2 options:
1) Take the original button apart and replace the contact inside with the one from the new button. There's another video on here with a lot of views where the guy basically does this, though he just cleans the original contact rather than replacing it with a new one.
2) Simply glue on the new button using gorilla glue instead of soldering it. This is actually how the original button seems to be attached - using an adhesive rather than solder. Use gorilla glue as I doubt superglue would be strong enough. This is what I did as the original button was coming off - otherwise, just use the first method. Hope this helps!

@@lowkeykenobi5039 solder cannot be substituted with glue. The original part is soldered on, and replacements need to be soldered on as well.

Yours worked a lot better than mine haha. It my button simply wouldnt come off

[@grimwoodfix]

you need to use low melt removal solder to accomplish this.

@@odiesianarmory4080 the stuff I use in the video is called Fast Chip removal solder. You can find it on Amazon.
