Crashed in Marsh

[jumpinfish]

Hi
My Phantom 1 went completely haywire and crashed in a marsh a few days ago.
I let it sit and dry and tried plugging it in to battery today. I get a few green blinks then all yellow blinks.

any suggestions?
Or is it toast?
Amazed it turns on

as far as i can tell NAZAM does not see it
thanks

Salt water?

Lots of good posts on drying out the bird - bag of rice and at least a week.

Take it apart and spray it down with deoxit or any other corrosion removing aerosol. Then remove every plug and reinsert them, do one at a time to not mix them up. Then you must let it dry for a couple days in a warm area, if you throw a hair dryer on it it will dry really quick, in less than 20 minutes. There is a good chance that it will work for you.
