today my 3ds got soaked in water by a misplaced water bottle.

i want to kill myself. i think the Sun cartridge and sd card survived, the battery was dry but the top screen is FULL of water. I don't think any rice will soak that up without disassembling the damn thing and soaking the water up manually.

I don't have any money to buy a new one.

if it dries completely out before you turn it on, nothing should get fried. most electronics are made pretty waterproof (ie no rusting materials) so just don't turn it on for a week at least. give it some tlc and see how it goes

source: i dropped my entire laptop in the bathtub once while it was on, got fully submerged, and it lived to see another 2 healthy years after that

Get $200 and buy a 3DS from best buy or whatever, keep the receipt and return it in 30 days. Just don't drop any water on it and it's basically a deposit, you'll get your money back. Then go to another store and keep repeating the process.

I'm not american. people sell used 3ds here for about 300 dollars. I can't afford that. I barely could afford this 3ds when I bought it last march (mario gold edition).

Don't turn it on dumbass, it could potentially fry.

You can still save it. Remove the battery and rip the thing open, look for a tutorial on youtube or something.

Anon, don't fucking turn it on. Leave it open in rice for a few days, it'll eventually suck out the water.

bury it in rice, make sure rice is surrounding all of it.

the rice will draw the moisture right out of your DS

Do you have those packets of silica beads they stick in new shoes?
I keep a stash of like 60 of those packets just in case this shit happens to me.
If not, put it in a deep bowl full of dry rice and wait 4+ days.

I spilt coffee on mine by accident, it got everywhere, it also had 3 sugars in it. It took a while for the stickyness of the buttons to go away but it's all good now.

My pokemon Y cartridge entered 2 times in washing machine and still alive, sun cartridge will have no problem. For the 3ds dont turn it on in months if necesary and give it a dry place to be in. Good idea would be using a hair dryer on cool mode

About packing with rice...
It doesn't work, dude. I work at a place that fixes electronics. People bring in devices that have been bagged in rice for a few days and either:
A. There's still water inside when we look
B. The water is gone but there's a fuck-ton of rust/corrosion everywhere

You know those little silica gel packs they pack in with fancy new shoes and bags? Those are actually designed to draw moisture out. Use those. Walmart apparently sells a 20-pack for $5 or so.

Leaving water damaged electronics in rice does nothing. I don't know how this shit started, but it's the same as if you were to do nothing.

The only actual fix would be to open it up, clean out all the liquid, clean any corrosion off the board/flex cables, maybe reflow the soldering on the board, put it back together and hope for the best.

Even then it's kind of a 50/50 chance it'll still work. Depends on the extent of the damage and exactly what sort of liquid got in it. Some liquids are more corrosive than others.

Water damaged LCDs and speakers aren't really fixable either so they'd just need to be replaced.

I like the 2ds a lot more than the N3DS. If it weren't for the control stick then I would stick to the 2DS.

As many have said, just don't turn it on. I've sent the same flash drive through the was multiple times. If you don't turn it on it's fine just you'll have to wait like a week or two.

Water in electronics isn't a problem in and of itself. You just don't want to turn it on because it'll create a short circuit by connecting everything together at once and toast it.
