Where do I begin.... I had this machine for only 4 days before it decided to take a swim in a client's fountain.
I was right next to it when it took the plunge, it got totally submerge.The craft was only in the water literally for a second before I was able to pull it out. Once out of the water it started to smoke and make some weird spinning sounds. Pulled out the battery immediately and started the drying process. After blow drying it out for a couple hours and let it sit for a day until I was certain it was dry. I inserted the battery and turned it on. It powered up!
However only three lights turned on the front two and back right light. In addition I was able to connect the transmitter and get the camera to work. Also we were able to connect to the pc and everything checked out. But.. it wouldn’t start and oddly the back left propeller gets very HOT not sure if something was shorted but it’s quite noticeable.
So my question is it worth trying to salvage it or it toast?
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
