So long story short, I got my hands on a new nintendo 3ds. However there is one thing that bugs me about it, it's not the scratches, not the dents, but the fact that the thumb pads rubber. I would send it into nintendo, but its been homebrewed and I'm afraid if I send it up there. Its gonna get investigated, and their gonna find all the juicy secrets on it like homebrew, and the 30 pirated games i put onto it. I'm also afraid there gonna not do anything to it (wasting the cost it took to ship the console) or there gonna hold the ds with them all together (losing the ds outright). I cant exactly send it in without the sd card either or else it wont turn on. I would do manual repair and im familiar with the insides of a 3ds, but ive had terrible experiences with it, mainly with me accidently ripping the ribbon cords. I dont wanna do that with this ds,
