    Hi, I have just broken my daughters nintendo, I had dropped it on the floor, so she is not happy as you can image, the thing is the on/off switch is not working, its moving side to side too easily, I assume the connection on the inside has snapped off, any advice on what to do who be great, Thanks.

    More than likely the post on the switch snapped off. If you are good at soldering and have the correct equipment you can attempt to replace the switch. otherwise, I believe Nintendo charges $75.00 USD for out of warranty repair.

    Thanks dailun, unfortunately the warranty has ran out so think I will give it a go myself, and if that dose not work will have to get her another.
