My DS Died....

If your wondering why I named this post "My Ds Died", it's because it did! I was going through my old posts, and it turned out that I had told you about how I had gotten a Nintendo DS Lite for Christmas, that I thought you have a right to know... I'll tell you the story... I woke up June 2 or sometime around that day in the week, I went to my DS, opened the screen, and there was standing water on the screen! I didn't freak out like you would've thought. I just thought there was a little water on the screen, so I took it and wiped it off and tried turning it on. You guessed it, NOTHING HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I freaked out. I called for my Mom well I grabbed some paper towl and started taking my games out... My worst fears where confirmed when I realized they where all sooking wet!! My Mom was dismayed, but all we could do was dry it off before we had to go back to getting ready, because it was still a school day!! We didn't know what to do because we couldn't get the screws off the back ( it had 4 really weird three point screws) so we just opened it up to let it "Air Dry"! When my dad got home we didn't tell him because he had had a bad day at work... The next day we looked at it, and it looked dryer but wouldn't turn on still. It was still a school day, so we didn't pay any atentoin to it. Later that day when my dad came home we showed it to him (he was in a good mood) and he did something I would've never thought of... PUT IT ON THE TOASTER!!!!!!!!!! His theory was that it would dry it out through the heat. It looked like it had worked because we could see the moisture on the other side of the screen. the other day we did the same thing. IT STILL WOULDN"T TURN ON!!!!! My dad gave up saying it was broken and he couldn't do anything about it... I was crushed... I loved that DS, and now it's wrecked...

From what I can piece together, someone dumped a cup of water on it, by accident or not, cleaned it up, and didn't think it had done anything to the Nintendo DS Lite at all and left it without telling anybody because he didn't want to get in throuble...

I still don't know who did it, but I think it was brother, "Fire".

With all the new games for the DS, I was and now am saving up money to buy a new DS, but it's not going so well, considering that it's ultimately around 131 dollars ( with tax included)...

Just thought you other bloggers out there should know. In case your wondering, that post that I told about it in is called "The Longest Christmas Post Ever", and can be found in the older posts link if you want to veiw and read it.

Any advice from peaple who know about stuff like that and if it can be fixed, leave a coment or post it on your blogger site or website and leave a coment containing a link back to it, because I still have the DS, and it still won't turn on...
