Okay so on Sunday (6-2-13) some juice had gotten into my 3DSXL. I took off the battery and let it dry. I tried turning it on two days later, the power turned on but the screen didn't. But it only lasted for like 4 seconds until it went away. ANYWAYS, today (6-7-13) I tried turning it on and it turned on! I was so happy and I played for about 20 minutes until it shut off. I got so scared again . . . And now I'm thinking of when if it turns on again I will transfer the memory to my friend's 3DS. But I'm here just wondering why did it turn off while I was playing? Could the 3DS still have been wet and did I fry something? PLEASE HALP.

I was then told I should have waited a few days before turning it on, because making the electricity react with the water is what went wrong. I'm afraid to say, but your 3ds might be toast... (My iPod's screen went bright after a few months but only for a few minutes, much like your 3ds turning on for a little bit...)

I turned it on again but then I turned it off to transfer memory. I have no idea whut's happening but I'm really lucky.

Something like that actually happened to my old gameboy (and recently my phone). I powered it off immediately, and left it on some paper towels and a grill for a few days. I was lucky enough for everything to still be working alright but I'm glad to hear that you were able to transfer your things at least.
