How to Repair DS Lite Rubber Button Backings

[intercity112255]

Hi, when I press the buttons on my ds, I must really force them in because otherwise they will not do anything. Will I need to replace the rubber backings? Also, I have several other problems but I dont have the triangle screw driver. Do you think my local DIY shop will have the right screw driver?

Looks so simple! I may have to watch several times to get it done. Thanks!

Thanks for the guide dude, it helped me repair my ds buttons without any problems. Except I thought it would also help repairing my R shoulder button that sometimes doesn't work, but I guess it must be something else that is making it faulty. either way thanks!

While doing this would it be a good idea to clean the button contacts on the motherboard with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip?
