Damn DS, can't take a sissy 5 ft fall

I just dropped my ds from about 5 feet, and now the majority of the screen is a big black blot surrounded by a rainbow!! A 5 foot drop and the screen breaks. I just looked through my warranty and it doesn't cover -blam!-!! What sort of piece of -blam!- warranty wouldn't cover screen damage!? My screen is a big black blob, and that isn't covered in the -blam!-en warranty! Does this mean i have to pay to get this piece of -blam!- repaired!? My gameboy advance doesn't even break from that drop!! [Edited on 3/24/2005 1:05:06 PM]

  • I'm going to have to agree that Sony makes Sh1tty portable electronics. The only thing Sony that is worth buying is their Trinitron displays.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ðcherryð Lets see.... it pretty much only covers the battery and that little pen thing that comes with it[/quote] .... dang. how bout this, you put your DS on the table when all of the sudden the pen spontaeneously combusts, which burns a hole to the battery compartment, rupturing the battery casings, causing the batteries to explode which propels said DS onto the ground, breaking the screen.

  • i think he ruined his DS, not me. I'm sure a small bit of fog (that will dry) did not contribute to the death of his LCD. I was just having a bit of fun.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MasterOfPie OMFG. I cant believe u actually put that in the freezer. All that probably did is make it worse by getting little ice crystals into the DS. Now they are going to melt and short circuit that poor little pos.[/quote] [color=lime]Freezing actually works with Hard drives, sometimes. But put it in a freaking ziploc bag, dumbass! (<--not talking to MasterOfPie, just people freezing stuff in general) Also, use a straw to suck the air out before sealing the bag. That way it is [i]DRY[/i] and cold. Basically, your hard drive crashes, you freeze it for 12 hours, then slap it back into your computer before it warms up, and you might have time to back up your info before it's gone for good. This doesn't always work. (For example, my 60GB drive had failed circuitry, and thus didn't work at all.)[/color]

  • i'm curious to see how well a PSP would fare in such a drop. but yeah, if you're gonna drop stuff it's going to break. gravity is a harsh mistress.

  • yeah, EB always does the best warranty. they basically say "take it home, beat the crap out of it, bring it back, and we'll give you a new one."

  • I'm afraid you've dropped it in just such a way that the LCD popped. If you bought the DS from a chain -- bring it to them, and tell them it's not working -- they should exchange it. I wouldn't mention the dropping. And ALWAYS buy an extended warranty if it's availiable directly from the store (EB has a good program).

  • omg why in the wrold did you listen to does guys, man it's like it you got gum on your hair and put lemon froze it put penut butter and try chewing it out. you should buy a rubber case for it if your house dosen't have a carpet, an use the little wrist ban thing on your wrist not on your thumb that way it won't drop. it sounds like it's pretty busted if you still got the 90 day waaranty send it back and get a new one.
