If you import a DS I hope you still get a warranty. Importing to avoid a problem and not getting a warranty out of it seems mighty strange to me.
If anyone does have this problem and it is still under warranty, it should be very easy and quick to get it fixed through Nintendo. It certainly was for me and a cracked hinge.

Well... as an update, the glue I used to stuck my corner piece back on eventually did fail. The outer casing keeps the whole thing together even without needing to glue the piece back on.
After I figured that out I smacked myself for whittling down the hinge socket to lower resistance when the screen open and closed. I could have just used the shell as a brace and not have to hold the screen to keep it from flopping down if I'm playing while laying down in bed.

Pics or lying.
Also, that's a hot looking DS. First time I've seen good pictures of a light blue one.
My black import DS (bought back when you could only buy a black one from one place in the world) still has no cracks or signs of damage. It even survived Metroid Hunters which I'd imagine to be one of the best games to stress the system.

(my keyboard is too loud and it wakes him up, but my DS is much quieter)
Hehehe..
That's the thing..
-If you're girl, of course they want pics of you in your bed with your DS (without your guy)
-If you're a guy, of coruse they won't ask you for pics of you in your bed with your DS (definelty, less with your guy)
:lol
For all those that don't know, the original crack is caused by opening the DS to the second 'click', so it lies completely flat. If you only open the DS to the first click, you shouldn't have any problem. My wife's wasn't cracked for months and then she accidentally opened it all the way. She closed it, and sure enough, there was the crack.
A stupid design flaw, very surprising that it made it past Nintendo's usually very stringent testing. We're pretty rough with ours (played Planet Puzzle League against each other for nearly two hours in line for Finding Nemo Submarine Ride at Disneyland yesterday) and the crack hasn't caused any new problems. Still, an annoying defect on an otherwise nearly perfect handheld.

I've treated my DS Lite Ice Blue like complete shit since I got it at launch back in March 2006 and it's still perfectly fine
