the water may drop into the console, and make the circuit shortage. So don't power it on before dry it. You should dry it with a windyblow. then open the shell to repair it.

If you are not profesional, I suggest you to go some store to ask help. it is easy to damage the board inside.

Answer 2

It depends on how wet. If it was submerged, the chances are slim. Even if it comes on after drying the parts out, the lcd screen will most likely be permanently damaged. The best thing to do is buy the extended warranties that allow you to get a new one, no questions asked. You should always buy that type of warranty with electronics that you care about. If you don't buy the warranty, go directly to Nintendo's website and click on support. If their troubleshooter doesn't solve your problem, use their return system to get it fixed. (After a tub incident last night, I'm headed to replace ours now. My warranty allows me to get a new one, repair, or get store credit. Then the warranty contract terminates. And no, we weren't playing with it in the tub! That's another story though!).
Get some Silicon Gel and put it inside an air tight packet or container with the DS. The Silicon Gel sucks out the moisture in electronics, something nothing else can do.

Answer 3

My DS was clearly soaked inside and out. I was too impatient to see if it was still working, after an hour of letting it air-dry, I put the battery back in and turned it on. The top screen was dim and flickering and after a few seconds it faded to black.

I thought for sure that I had just shorted out the DS, but I wasn't ready to give up so I collected the parts and ran back to my hotel room, where I remembered seeing a hair dryer in the bathroom. I used the hair dryer to blow-dry it inside and out for a good 10 minutes and then I left the DS disassembled over night, resisting the temptation to test it again.

I didn't have much hope the next morning as I put my DS back together, but when I turned it on everything seemed back to normal. Both screens were fully illuminated and the flickering was gone. After 30 minutes of testing it out I was convinced that my DS had completely dried out and survived full submersion in water without any permanent damage.

Basically, just try disassembling it, blow-drying it inside and outside, and let it airdry. Nintendo's DS is pretty good quality so there's a good chance that after it dries it'll survive. Hope this helps!
