UGH! I hate it! I really don't want to give it back.. At least not yet. Is there a work around on this?
The idea of lubing it isn't as wack as some might think. Years ago there was a plastic engine sold in toy stores, it was clear so you could see how internal combustion engine works, anyway, for a lube they suggested Vasaline (petrolium Jelly). I think regular oils (some) will break down plastic but petrolium jelly will lube without breaking the plastic or melting it. I would use a very tiny bit so the tech that eventually fixes it doesn't see it inside when opening it though. I have used this on the clear cover cases for the DSi, ds lite and so forth, when they were tight, worked fine.
Good Luck

PS Nintendos retrun time for repairs is not good right now because they are getting flooded with the 3ds Black Screen problem - poss defect. Mine had it and they can't figure out what is causing it. They said poss. games but I've also had the problem in the system menu...
