Hey does anyone no how to remove a weird smell from their ds lite? I recently bought this as refurbished from gamestop when opened from its packaging came a weird cigarette like/ smoke smell. Is there any way to remove it with cleaning solvents.

...He said what the smell is...cigarette smoke. It most likely happened somewhere in the shipping process. Many carriers are allowed to smoke in their trucks.

i wanted to make the joke regardless of the truth :P
