It can't be downgraded.

It can with a hardmod. This method still works: http://gbatemp.net/threads/wip-hard...-of-native_firm-from-10-4-10-5-to-10-2.412836

Well this is quite disappointing... All I did was use wet wipes. Returning it to Toys 'r Us isn't an option since it's past 30 days, unless I'm mistaken.

Well, what now?

Paying for repairs is still cheaper than buying a new console.

I have no stable income, not until I get a part time job over the summer.

What if I buy another one, swap it, and return the defective one? Chances are the new one will have a hackable firmware.

There's the serial number.

Damn...

Ahhh water damage, the answer to every warrenty claim......i always find it funny that the serial is on the easily removable back cover.........

There's another serial number on the 3ds itself under the back cover.

buy another one swap the bottom cover then report it faulty.

As @Ichigo1000 said, there's another serial number by the battery.
They probably check it.

 

[Deleted member 310901]

I doubt they'd go through the trouble of checking the serial number, let alone unscrewing it. I heard some retail employees are pretty incompetent. The condition of my broken one is pretty good on the outside anyway. You have to try fairly hard to find any scratches.

But knowing my luck so far with this...crap...

 

[TariqSoftDev]

just swap the serial and the cover shell.......

Wait, I thought we were talking about Nintendo.
If it's just some retailer, then you're probably safe.

Yeah, I returned my phone that 'mysteriously' stopped working to Argos and they didnt even look at it. They turned it on, verified it didnt work and went "ok" and gave me a full refund.

 

[Deleted member 310901]

What about Toys 'r Us specifically? Just making sure.

 

[Ichigo1000]

Was it actually water damaged though? For the cause of your problem.

 

[Deleted member 310901]

...yes. Wet wipes.

 

[Ichigo1000]

...yes. Wet wipes.

And the moisture seeped into the system? Was it that moist? Lol what did you use the wet wipes for?

Probably just for wiping gunk off of the screens. My screens get very dirty very fast so I often use Lysol wipes to clean them off.
