Yep, the title explains a lot. Anyone know how to remove items stuck in the slot??? To be specific, paper towel.

I can, but I choose not to.

Shake really hard? I don't think they have tweezers that thin... o.o

Catch my drift.

Try and find some sort of thin, pointy object, like a bobby pin, stick that in there and try and pull out the paper towel. It MIGHT work depending on how hard it's jammed in there. But hey, at least it's just your stylus slot. I once got something stuck in my GBA's game slot. Couldn't really play anything for a while. -_-

Maybe you could use a long needle or an unfurled paper clip to try to scrap it out. I'm assuming it's bad enough that you can't put the stylus in?

Catch my drift.

since everybody is suggesting the same thing i'll give a weird alternative in case they don't work, stick a straw in and suck hard to get it on the end and pull it out maybe? xD

I've tried the water technique and it screwed up my DSi for about a day and a half. Thank Chuck Norris it still works. This is difficult :3

I can, but I choose not to.

And yes, as Limxzero said, its so bad I can't put the stylus in. I feel very stupid :3

I can, but I choose not to.

Get something like a long pin and poke it in the object in the slot. Now try to pull it out of the slot. Hope it works.

@Takis Teh Greek: I don't think I'ma open my DSi, never have, never will. I don't want to mess up anything >_> And I don't think my DSi would like that. (I treat it like a child)

I can, but I choose not to.
