Hello, so this is a DS lite that I got recently and the console is almost at perfect condition, except for these few scratches at the back. Probably someone opened it before and while trying to remove the rubber feet at the back hit the shell of the console leaving these white marks.
I already changed the rubber feet as they were also damaged but these scratches remain, and to be honest it's driving me crazy.
Is there anything I can do to make this less noticeable? Maybe polishing it a little somehow ?
The scratches turned white so it's pretty noticeable, if they stayed red I wouldn't really mind the scratches as it wouldn't be much noticeable.

What do you guys recommend me to do ? Please don't tell me to ignore it as my OCD is strong on this one and these sort of things drive me insane.
Thanks.

I'd really like to use it without any cases as I enjoy holding it without them. Yes I can't stop thinking about this crap, everytime I remember any DS game or console this comes to my mind, I really need to find a solution for it because it drives me crazy. I'll buy a case as a last resort if I don't find another method of fixing it. Hopefully someone who had the same problem before could lend me some advice on this.

the previous owner definitely opened the console...

well it's in the back you will only look at it if you want... my recommendation is suck it up...
other than that, either a cover, or try to paint it...

That's funny because a few days ago I actually tried very carefully painting the white things with a red painting pen that I actually had lying around, but the color doesn't stick to it.
To explain it better, I painted it, waited for the next day and when i touched it the color disappeared again and went back to white. I guess it's because of the DS lite's plastic that doesn't let me paint it?

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
