Nintendo is not magic.

Not at all.

I headed to bed, turned off the lights, and stepped on Hirun's DS. (Which shouldn't even be on my floor anyways!)
Top screen is shot.
And now I likely have to buy a new one.
This ******** sucks.

Shoy is right, Nintendo sucks at top screens.

Shoy is wrong, you can still use the top screen. Mostly. Its just got 3 nice lines on the top and I just can't play games where I shouldn't have blind spots. No biggie. I'm not gonna make him entirely pay for a new one. :U

Haha! I broke my old-school DS. I don't even remember how, anymore. But the top screen was destroyed, but still worked?
There was a lot of black areas, but when I'd turn a game on it'd still work - It just wouldn't have any backlight.

My DS lites all were in perfect condition, though. <3

I'm trying to find a gamecube in a thrift store so I can make it into a lunchbox. D:

I think it was Sibby who found a working one in a garbage can and salvaged it...

I saw a busted N64 at a thrift store once. :<

So, good news.

I took my cracked hinge DS's working screen, and swapped it with the broken LCD.

Hirun's DS now works perfectly, and my DS is mega crippled.

Woot.

Meanwhile, Hirun bought a White DS Lite. .3.

^__^

It wasn't working before... but I fix'd it. Er, mostly... the "case" is shot... but it works (as long as I hold down the "top closed" switches with something) n_n

And it sounds like Shoy could try and make money fixing electronics... o_o

Years ago, I had a Game Boy. The original deal. Left it on the table overnight. Also on the table was a bottle of vegetable oil. The puppy we had at the time got on the table, and chewed the bottle. The Game Boy got soaked, and was found the next morning on the floor in a puddle of vegetable oil that had partially congealed into a viscous crud.

After I got the cartridge out (which was a task in itself), I wiped it and the Game Boy down. After I swabbed the socket with a q-tip and alcohol? Worked fine.

Y'know... as much as I'd like to say that that was a result of Nintendo's product... immortality...

Vegetable oil isn't nearly the threat you're making it out to be... and I do believe that there's a significant complexity increase compared to the gameboy...

o_o

However, water isn't all too bad to electronics either... SO LONG AS IT'S NOT POWERED WHEN WET... if there's no power, then it can be dried, cleaned if necessary, then put back into service... but if it's powered and wet... it shorts... and dies...

*of note, game boy cartridges have a small lithium battery that *may* be enough to kill the cartridge/gameboy if the device is wet/shorted with it intact*

o.o

Then again, Nintendo puts out some nice, quality stuff... as opposed to the MS"s 360's "red ring of death" and the ps3's myriad of problems...

o_o

I'm not saying the others aren't good... but it just seems like Nintendo's got a rep of quality... o.o
