Stuck in Chrono Trigger with broken 'L' key

My DS's 'L' key is broken, and its 'R' is unreliable. I've been playing Chrono Trigger, and it's been fine up to now.
In Beyond the Ruins, a rat statue tells me a password, but it involves pressing 'L' and 'R' at the same time. Anyone know a workaround?

Here are your options:
Use someone else's DS
Borrow a friend's DS to get past this part and save your game.
If you don't know anyone with a DS, a used video game store would probably let you play your cartridge on a used DS for a few minutes without leaving the store.
Repair your DS
Ask your local used game store if they do repairs or who they use for repairs.
Get a new DS
Used ones aren't that much, especially if you get an older one.
