'this warranty does not cover any:
-defects in this product that are caused by accidental damage.....'
argh
im emailing them about getting it repaired....
although it does say 'if the above 12 month warranty period has expired at the time the defect is discovered or if the defect
is not covered by this warranty, nintendo may still be prepared to repair or replace the part causing the defect or the product itself'
lol... like that ever happens
