Today I wanted to fix the buttons on my #Nintendo 3DS. I didn't know what the issue was, but I was sure I had to disassemble it right to the buttons. Bad news: it means I had to disassemble the bottom part, like, completely. Wiped the buttons. Assembled it back (had to fix a couple of little things along the way too). Can't state that the buttons improved in any way. Maybe they even got worse... 3 hours bad spent.

I'll flash the custom firmware tomorrow nevertheless, even though the buttons are not in the best condition. This part will be easy! I know computers!
Looks like my dream of refurbishing my favorite game console without any new parts failed. At least I didn't have to buy the funky screwdriver, a friend let me borrow it.
