@asher245 If any electronics get moisture, you should make sure it's completely dry before using it again. If it's not drying, it may need to be opened up, or repaired professionally. I have no experience with opening tablet-like electronics. I've seen teardowns, and it's constructed like tablet/phone electronics. Opening can void a warranty (you may have assumed that already). I don't know if just removing the back plate is all you need to do? (opening the Switch may require specialized screw drivers. Amazon has Nintendo or Switch screw driver sets, but I don't know how to pick a quality set)

Otherwise, I can offer a generic, boring Nintendo support referral. But, they do have a very nice help line. I've used it myself. Repairs before the pandemic used to be fairly quick. Repairs have since resumed, but I don't know their current turnaround status.

@asher245 Sounds like it's been damaged, rather than moisture. But if it really does look like moisture, put it inside a sealed container with some uncooked rice for a day or two and see what happens.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

I would do what asher said first my idea is to open it or take it in for fixing or give to a bud that can.

Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

@gcunit Don't do uncooked rice.

Wash and rinse the rice first, and boil it in equal parts of salted water.
Add to a frying pan:

  • 1 shallot
  • 3 spring onion
  • garlic (to your taste)
  • and a chili pepper
    Add the rice to the frying pan once cooked, a dash of soy sauce, and enjoy your lunch.

Not a goog sign...this will void your Warranty repairs if there is one. I would power everything off and take out the sd card and game cart and put somewhere where moisture can be dried out but if it got soaked it - death note will coming up shortly here after.

@ogo79 Problem is once water enters it's not going to come out. You will have to open it - Voiding the warranty but having water inside already Voids any warranty. Or take to professional shop to properly inspect and clean/dry the system out.

I like rice.
My Uncle, Ben, used to make the best rice.
But some people told my Uncle, Ben, that he should go away forever. So now he still makes rice, just without mentioning his name or showing his face to anyone. Like some kind of rice phantom.
Something like that happened to my Aunt, too.
I like rice.

@the_shpydar
we have our fair share of rice phantoms around here.
the one you want to avoid is the "phantom s*****r."
at a job i worked, in the restroom there was always dookie on and in the toilet.
no one ever knew what happened to the toilet paper.
there were just brown souvenirs left over if you will.
we had our suspects. alas he was never caught.
his name upgraded after 3 years to the "brown stripe bandit."

@ogo79 Did I say it was you .. looks like people don't know when someone is explaining the why instead they go off the deep end. And if you read what I wrote was to simplify response but that was already lost. Maybe eating more veges would give you a better outlook in life.
