So yeah, I was playing Pokemon Shuffle and I ran out of hearts, so I decided to play MH3U, with Circle Pad Pro by the way... But I figured that I need to poop, and so I did!
I was so stupid! I played with my 3DS inside the bathroom, still with the circle pad. Once I finished my business I was about to wipe my bottom, I placed my 3ds in a very secure place (and so I thought) on top of the toilet flush button, since it was flat I thought it would be secured.
But no! When I was reaching the bucket of water to wipe my buns, vibration (maybe) caused my 3ds with cpp to fall off the top of the toilet and fell directly into the bucket of water...
I searched for solutions and found out rice may be the solution and so i took out everything and dried it, then put everything back in, and placed my 3ds and cpp on top of a bowl of rice and sealed it.I took it out to check it, and found out it was fine, my sd card, my game card slot was full of rice tho, so i took it all out, the upper screen and touch screen were working and all the buttons, after that, me and my sister shook off every last bit of rice in my 3ds, but when I opened it again, the top screen was flickering (3d: weak to strong and vice versa) even if the 3d slider was off, the top screen was still 3d! And the bottom screen stopped working plus the buttons and the circle pad, I'm afraid all the shaking caused it. BTW, the first few minutes the StreetPass light was red, then it was gone.
Now my question is, will the rice work? even if the water is inside? oh and btw, everytime i shake it I hear something, is that normal? I opened my 3ds several times, even though forums say i should not because it might short and it might fry the motherboard, but it didn't, all of the buttons circle pad and the screens are still in the same broken condition, does that mean it shorted out? WIll my 3ds be okay? I think water is the thing I heard when I shook it, will it be ok?
Note: I've charged it ang it worked fine, the orange light was on, (not sure if it actually charged, too tensed) the circle pad, buttons top screen was fine until it went bonkers on me. Haven't game tested cause if I opened the 3ds too much, it says "error has occured hold down the off button" everytime. I am glad that everytime I open it, it's fine, except for the screens, buttons etc. it doesnt make a popping sound, the sound system is still alright.
Help pls? Sorry for the long story, I'm OCD (a bit)
