Hello! Please get ready for a wall of text. Sorry.
Last night I spilled water on my desktop. What I didn't notice was that the water ran under the 3DS. So I used a cloth on it to dry it up a bit, and go to sleep.
This morning I was greeted by my 3DS not turning on -- the power lightbulb would turn on to just turn back off. Unlike my past hinge-damaged 3DS, it didn't make a popping sound. I thought, "damn it, my MicroSD died again! And I never took it out of the console!". So I reached under the lid.
Full of water. On the part of the slot where a circle is drawn, water. The inner part of the lid, water. I tried taking out the battery. I honestly do not remember seeing that with water, but I did see that the pin on the battery had a single drop of water. Oh, the uncertainty. Dried it up with a cloth, again, took out the MicroSD, somehow forgot about the water and turned it back on. It works! Luma3DS greets me with the config menu. I put it on my pocket to play with it later. Except I didn't use it in the entire morning.
Evening -- I'm back home. Cleaning myself just to not get infected. Gotta love how paranoic I am. Put the MicroSD on the 3DS to be greeted with good ol' HOME menu. It was working. Maybe the spring was loose, who knows. While playing Minecraft New 3DS Edition, it suddenly freezes for 2 seconds, then the console turns off.
"Huh, weird. Must have been a crash.".
Expecting to be greeted with Luma3DS complaining about a crash, the console no longer turns on! I play ejecting and putting the MicroSD back in and it works again. Back at Minecraft, and after some time, it crashes once again, and then I mess around with the MicroSD. I think this may have happened one more time, though I am not certain. Not being sure what was the problem, I was about to start playing again. Then it dawned on me.
"Shit. The water."
I went, and even though it may have been too late, I took out the MicroSD card, the battery, the lid, and put it on my desktop for it to dry. Though it might be useless -- it is all cloudy and cool in this place. After all I did, I think something should have stopped working by now, which means letting it dry is useless, especially because it's getting dark outside. Also, putting it on sunlight is not a good idea at all, because my dad's smartphone got damaged because of sunlight exposure... and there is no money for sending it to repairs.
Should I start waving goodbye to my console?
