I dropped my DS lite into a river once. It was flown away but I managed to get it out a few meters along the river. The system was turned on when I dropped it, and to my surprise, both the game and the system were still working. It was full of sand, though.
After 2 years, one of the hinges on the system broke (I hear that's been a huge problem with DS lites), and a few months after that, the top screen tinged red. I didn't know if that was related to the accident from 2 1/2 years ago or from the hinge breaking. Either way, I was amazed it worked for so long. And it still is working to this day, aside from the colour error.
Sucks that the 3DS didn't make it, though. I know repairing it is expensive, and I'd probably buy a new one if I were you, though I can see how that might not be the best idea.
