Rice is kinda expensive in the US though.

Sure beats paying $250 for a new 3DS.

And I don't remember it being THAT expensive. When money's a bit low my dad used to just make rice-based dishes because it was cheap.

Nah not so expensive here in Holland. I have enough rice in house right now.

Lets wait for my father when he comes home from work.

Referring to pics; will it help to get most of it out of my screen?

Really? I never thought it was expensive and I live in the US.

Compared to Singapore that is...

Well, still affordable though. I prefer bread! Am I turning into a white!?

Get in in an airing cupboard for a few days to get all the water out of it. Then take it back where you got it, say its messed up and demand a refund.
Make sure all the waters gone and they'll give you a replacement. Just say theres a problem with the software.

I will use rice so it will absorb the water out of the screen hopefully.

But it is playable. ^^ Colors are screwed but I can play on it!

ROFL XD


I have a question to anyone. The sun is shining heavily. Should I lay it in the sun without battery in it? I don´t know it it would be handy. it gets hot for sure we have a sort of tropical day here.

I wouldn't, I have a feeling it'd just warp the plastic or fry the components if it's outside too long. Just stick to the rice and/or keep it in an area where it can air out.

I think a fan on low or something would help. I mean my friends have just stuck to the rice trick personally, I'd air it out afterwards if the problem persists.

AFAIK, the 3D screen has different layers. Are you sure your dad dried the other layers?
