At first I had black screen of death, exchanged for a new unit. Black screen fixed, but now I have a squeaky d-pad. So annoying when playing ssf4.  Anyone else having this issue? Do these sorts of things stop squeaking after a bit of use? or am I looking at another exchange and new friend code u_u

yeah, i'm getting this too. i thought it was just me somehow messing up the system.  
 
this isn't good. i had the same problem with my lite and that was super annoying. >< 

it never went away? i know my first one what had BSOD issues didnt squeak. it sure is a pain giving out new friend codes every time I exchange it...

Mine squeaked, but it went away within an hour or two of use... maybe less. 

WOW i thought i was just me heh
 
I was so close in getting a exchange because the squeaky noises was a right pain in the ass, this was a couple of days ago 
 
Now? it seems to have fixed itself, which is good, my suggestion is keep playing, ignore the sound and it 'should' go away 

Mine hasn't squeaked all week until today, after I picked up SSFIV3D.  It isn't super loud or anything, so I've been able to mostly ignore it.  Would be nice if it eventually went away though.

mines god 

No squeak here. Then again judging from the layout, this handheld was never ever meant to support fighting games like SF.

Good thing I don't use the d-pad. 
 
It's in a super fucking awkward place.

Mines fine. I suggest a little squirt of WD-40, wiping away all excess fluid.

I just wanna say that d-pad is awful. It's tiny as hell and super clicky. Doesn't even feel like a proper gaming d-pad...
