Hey yorlik no seal here- and it was very uncomfortable for about 3 mins lol. I went over that board with a set of high power mag goggles, and couldn't find a thing.... I was stumped. I had voltage on the board, but I couldn't get anything past that. Several of the pins around the main...

Wow, that is great that your bird is still going. I can't believe your battery ejected- that was some luck. .

I'm still very happy with my P3, and I don't plan on upgrading anytime soon- heck my computer can barely handle editing 1080 video as it is! I do wonder if a P4 or Mavic would have seen that tree branch and avoided the crash.

If anyone has this problem- let me save you the trouble of washing, cleaning, tinkering with your drone- I had to buy a new mainboard- and make sure it will work with your motors (not all do). After a new board and battery I'm back flying- but it was an expense on an already aging drone. If...

I was flying cocky pure and simple. I've been flying RC for many many years and the phantom is so easy I really didn't think I could crash it. Long story short- Don't fly without your glasses (was preparing to don a headset to use Litchi) Don't fly at low altitude (especially 100 yards away...

Well, it seems to officially be dead- I have the board completely cleaned and dry, but it is not sending any power to anything- no beeps, no fans no lights- nothing. I have power on the board beside the main inputs, but nothing from there (probably some simple diode or something!) So, I have...

Thanks for the reply- so you don't feel I can damage his drone with my camera?

Hey guys- thanks for the replies. It was fresh water, but it was pretty nasty stuff. I have taken everything apart again, and I washing in alcohol with a paintbrush. I found one spot of green still on the large square chip under the compass. I'm going to let it dry a couple of days and try...

I have a 4k camera from my p3pro that took a bath in the local lake. After cleaning and drying I'd like to test the camera (the drone mainboard is not responding) Can I try my camera in a friends drone without fear of damaging his drone? I don't want to chance his drone if my camera could...

The battery light was still blinking when I found it in 12' of murky water (50 degree water!) The battery died shortly thereafter. The board had lots of greenish/blue buildup I rinsed it in warm water and used a toothbrush to clean it off. It looks pretty perfect on both side now...
