I'd say just buy a new 3DS (if you do the XL is way better!)

Because if you do send it in it will cost as much as a new one, except you will probably lose all your save data, streetpass data etc on it, because all repairs like this employs lazy people who don't give a damn about your data.

Buy a new one and do a System Transfer, if your upper screen doesn't work it's fine because all the actions you need to do are on the lower screen I remember.

Not sure if I want to buy a new 3DS if it's costing me another €180... I mean, if a couple of rain drops already kill the system and they're asking €180 for repair they can honestly go fuck themselves. 

I've had cellphones in the washing machine that still came out ok... 

Those couple of rain drops wouldn't have killed the system if you had been patient and put the 3DS in rice for a few days rather than hours and hadn't been stupid enough to turn the thing on straight away lol. Like I mentioned there's a guy on Gaf who had his 3DS in the washing machine whilst it was in Sleep Mode who did things properly and it works fine, including the 3D.

You make it sound as if there's something wrong with the reliability of the hardware which clearly isn't the case.
