It's just one right after another...

And almost immediately after my laptop goes kaput I start having problems with my 3DS too. The B button has become rather unresponsive; I have to push it in really hard to get it to register. It's not unplayably bad, but it does make it really tempting to use this as an excuse to bite the bullet and upgrade to an XL (especially since my warranty has long since expired months ago).
Called Nintendo's support line and they suggested cleaning around the button with a toothbrush to dislodge any detritus. I tried that and while it improved it a little, it didn't fix it completely. I also looked online for a guide to take my 3DS apart so I could try to clean it from the inside, but I can't get the little screws on the back of it to turn. Like, at all.
Sending it to Nintendo for them to repair it would cost me $95, which is almost a full half of the cost of just getting a brand new 3DS XL ($200) or more than half of the cost of a brand new regular 3DS ($170)--on Amazon, anyway. So yeah, not really worth paying to fix this thing.
It's especially aggravating because my 3DS is my second-most-used gaming platform right behind my computer.
