Nintendo DS battery?

Has anyone had their battery to explode?

I bought my daughter a DS for christmas 2006. The battery has exploded in just the last few days. Is there anyway to save the DS? Will they replace it for free?

    My only suggestion is to call Nintendo. I have had similar things happen to my Nintendo systems and have turned to Nintendo because I didn't know what to do. Here is the most recent info that I was given, just keep in mind this may have changed. But it doesn't hurt to try.

    If the DS is still in warranty, they will replace the DS for free-you only pay shipping which is like $5. If the DS is not in warranty, you can purchase a refurbished DS from Nintendo for a greatly reduced price of a new one ($20-50).

    Here is the number for Nintendo, you will probably need to have the actual DS on hand when you call because they will ask for serial numbers. 1-800-255-3700

    Hope this helps

    particular, you may. yet I desire to enable it fee, then play it. yet once you're in an exciting area of the pastime, then play. It takes some million or 2 hours to cost without enjoying it, so enjoying it on a similar time as charging might make it fee in 3 or 4 hours. ~ a severe high quality individual, or so it style of feels~

    If you're covered by the warranty and still have the 800 number, then they should replace it for free.

    if the warrent is still valid, they will send you a new ds.if not, either buy a new one, get it fixed for about 60-80 bucks, or sell the games she had and just forget about it.
