Hi, I just bought a lime green n3dsxl from "Japan Game Trading Store" on eBay. I paid ~$290 USD for it (with tax and shipping) with the condition listed as "A rank." It just showed up, and the top screen looks a bit yellowed. Should I submit a case or something about it or just deal with it? It seems pretty tolerable, but I'd like to see what other people think.
#Is this a reasonable amount of yellowing for the price I paid?

It's a little bit hard to tell from the photo, but the top right and left corners of the top screen seem the most yellowed.
Actually, I take it back. It seems fine to me. It might still be there, but I don't think it's noticeable enough to return it.
Thanks for taking the time to read this (if you did).
One simple thing you can try immediately with almost no risks is to:
Turn off Auto Brighness & power savings mode, put brightness at 5 (max) and leave it at a pure white image for a couple of hours (maybe max 2-3 days)
I myself am not knowledgeable enough to explain it, and i cant find a proper explanation of it but that yellowing prob comes from either inactive blue sub pixels, high UV Exposure or high humidity.
Its Probably UV or humidity exposure since this issue seems to be a lot more widespread on Japanese Models than on western systems, but either way leaving the systems on a static white image for a while could smooth things out.
Right, thank you.
