The story: How I nearly burnt a hole through my DSL

[Joystick]

So I got it ready, presse '2' on the microwave, and walked away, for safety reasons... I forgot. 2, as in 2 minutes. I came back into the room about half a minute later, hearing a sizzling sound, sparks everywhere, and this god awful smell of burnt plastic and metal. So I darted for the microwave power cord, and managed to unplug it, stopping it. I waited about 20 minutes before trying to grab the DS out of the microwave... So I reached my hand in, wrapped my fingers around it... And felt nothing but searing heat. After TEN MINUTES. So I gave it another half hour, and it was down to a point where it was touchable, it was still warm as hell though. So I grabbed it, ran downstairs, and put it out on the deck to cool for a while. I came back an hour or so later, and tried to open it. It wouldn't budge.

UPDATE:11/17!!!

''I walk up to the Best Buy return counter, palms somewhat sweaty. I kept thinking ''what do I tell them??'' as my friend Reed kept egging me on, telling me to keep walking.

Best Buy Employee: How can I help you?
*I slide the box and broken DS out of the bag I have, and give it to her*
*She examines it*
Employee:Take it over to the Geek Squad, so they can examine it...
Me:Okay, gotcha.
*I walk over to the Geek Squad counter, and slide the DS Lite and items to the nearest employee*
*Employee examines it, mutters something to the other guy next to him*
Geek Squad Employee: Go get another one...

At this point I'm practically wanting to jump across the counter and hug the dude, but I resist and run to the back with Reed and grab a Onyx Black DS Lite.

So w00t, le w00t.

[RaGe]

lol what kinda of smell does burning metal have????

[Joystick]

Dude, I don't know exactly how to explain it. It was mostly the combination of plastic and whatever else the inside cover of the DS Lite has in it.

[Night]

Owned by your microwave.

[Mike.]

i feel bad for giving this advice .. why the hell did u put it for 2 minutes?!?!

[Joystick]

I pressed 2, thinking it was 2 seconds... I wasn't thinking straight.

[Bozo]

dam that sucks,if you press 2, then it should be 2 seconds, at least my microwave deos that

[Pdog1]

depends on the microwave... some have "quick buttons" in other words you have to push another button to select indivual seconds instead of minutes... mine does that...

Anyway, that sux joystick lol... Does anyone know if that 1-2 second thing works though? I want to redeem the warrenty on my DSL also

[Joystick]

I'm SURE it works, but WATCH it... It won't explode, just WATCH it. Put it in for 1 second, take it out. Check it. If it works, put it in for 2 seconds, that'll get it.

Not 20 seconds...

[N1CKD]

What exactly does putting your dsl in the microwave do? I cant go on myspace...firewall filters it.

[Joystick]

I'm not sure how it works [PM F34R or someone] but it works... Just not too long. AT. ALL.

[N1CKD]

no i mean...why did you put it in microwave?

[Joystick]

To brick it, so I could return it to Best Buy and get money towards my Wii.

[DeLinKweNt21]

I feel bad for you bro.

Look into the eyes of a killer.

[Mike.]
