    (Is this the right part of the forum for this? o_o)

    Right.
    Me and my sister currently 'share' a DS, but neglect on her half meant the poor thing got wet. As a result, our screen has gone 'blobby' - and it looks like oil does, when it mixes with water.
    My GBA gets similar-looking 'sunspots' in hot weather, but these fade after a few minutes. The blobby effect the water gave me hasn't faded, and it's getting annoying.
    Has anyone else had this problem? And is there a way to fix it?
    I'm planning to buy the DS Lite when it comes out, but I'd still prefer to have the origional model working until then.
     
    Is your warranty still in tact?

    I'd recommened calling Nintendo. If your warranty is in tact they'll send you a new one. They did for me and my problem was nowhere as big as yours. They'll send it for free too.
     
    I checked the warranty, but as the damage was due to 'negligence on the owner's behalf' I don't think I can get it exchanged.
    However, I'm going to try. Thanks!
     
    If worse comes to worse you could try EBGames.

    When my GCN's laser died (because laser are such a fickle thing like hard drives and can die at any moment without reason) last year I had already ahd my GCN since the launch of the system. So... my warranty was up. But EBGames took it and gave me a credit which I used towards purchasing a new system. The GCN also went through lots of price cuts, so with the price cuts and my credit (and I think I had a gift certificate) I ended up with a shiny new silver GCN for less money then it cost me to buy my original purple GCN.
