Hi, I'm in need of help/information.
Ok a quick backstory first, my bird went down from about 3 meters landed upside down in the wash of the beach. Was only in the water for 5-10 seconds and wasn't fully under just got hit by a small wave just before I reached it. Within less than 5 minutes of the crash it was flushed with fresh water and used air duster to get out what I could, drove home ( about 10 minute drive ) then blew it out with my bigger blower ( not petrol blower just a small battery one ) then used more air duster to get out all the water I could. Placed it in my food dehydrator on low to dry it out then placed it on rice for a few days. When I picked it up from the wash the lights and battery lights were still on so I shut it down straight away and removed the battery ( battery has now been disposed of ).
I have tried to fire it up three times since the crash and the following is what happened.
1st time: it started up without the little start up tune, had lights on (red and orange/yellow ), connected to the controller and dji go, had camera view, could move camera via controller, tried an Imu calibration but failed, couldn't do a compass calibration, had on screen warnings saying gimbal can't connect, and it was beeping. So I shut it down and restarted it, same thing but without the gimbal warning but had two other warnings, topology and esc warnings so I shut it down and tried more research.
2nd time: about a week later I started it up this time I got the start up tune but no lights, beeping, would not connect to the controller so I don't know about warnings, tried linking the two but didn't work. Downloaded dji assistant 2 hooked it up, did a factory reset and tried calibrating sensors but only got to the second stage before it said failed.
3rd time: started and restated about six times, sometimes get the start up tune sometimes didn't, beeping, no lights, no connection to controller and no connection to dji assistant.
So I am need of information on what to try next before I contemplate opening it up and looking inside. Below is a video of the beeping.
Oh yes and the crash was completely operator error.
