First: I am looking at an older folded slide P228. It has the mag release for a lefty(button on the right side). Can that be switched around? Parts needed?
Second: It is DOA. Can it be switched back to the traditional DA/SA? If so what parts would be needed?
Thank you in advance.

First no parts will be needed to switch sides with the Magazine release if nothing is broken. However ! If I break the frame on my P228 playing with the mag release, I would change it to the right side for no cost. Is the left frame broken ? then you will need a new or good used frame, and then no parts needed.
Parts to convert from DAO to DA/SA Hammer, and I like to use a new Sear. The DAO Sear may have been changed to make better DAO.

If you do change the magazine release, be sure to reinstall the magazine catch stop EXACTLY as shown in this photo, i.e. step facing out.
