Hi Erik!

You need to remove the motherboard first.

Guide: Nintendo 3DS XL Motherboard Replacement

Then you do see that the dpad is a silver metal button sticker! Remove that one from the motherboard. Then you will find gold plated contacts. Clean them and replace the button sticker for a new one! Put it exactly on it how the original was on.

Clean the button it’s rubber (or replace if you want) and assemble the 3DS again.

This should solve it again!

Good luck with the repair and please let us know how it goes!
