My nintendo DS lite question?

• My nintendo DS lite question I just got call of duty DS and i heard that DS lite's shoulder buttons break easilly,will my DS's shoulder button break if i use it too much?

• Answer:

  The breaking that you are afraid of has to do a lot with the plastic hinge that folds the DS in half. The shoulder buttons are right at that hinge point and will break off if the hinge breaks. If you close your DS and GENTLY wiggle the two halves you can see where the stress is. A hard wiggle there can break it easily. Because it is plastic it will fatigue and will eventually break. Hopefully that will be in a year or two. Mine lasted a year before it cracked; I pried it open and applied crazy glue to the crack and closed it up again. It has lasted another year so far.
