If you wanted to be cheeky you could do the trick with the Silica gel/de-humidifier pack, dry out the 3ds completely, then attempt to return it to the store claiming it just stopped working and you have no idea what happened. Most likely it will be returned to a Ninty repair place along with a load of other sticky child destroyed systems and you'll get a refurbished unit back, no questions asked. |
Thanks for the response, can't check the screen right now because it's in a bowl of uncooked rice though. Any idea what this can cost me?
And no shoeboxes here either.
