Crashed my P4P+ in a swimming pool, went upside down in about 1 meter of water for 15 seconds. Lights were still flashing when i got it out of the water but imediately popped the battery out to prevent anything from frying. Shook as much water out as possible but took it all apart the day after to make sure no residual water was left behind. Most parts were dry but a few components needed some extra help;
Ps while the battery appears to be working (button and green lights all OK) it fails to charge and deliver power to the drone.
PsPs battery, drone and camera housings all have strategically placed water markers, little stickers that turn red upon contact with water. All were red in this case
- The flight controller has a tape like piece of insulation glued to the bottom which retained water. Pulling it off was enough to get that dry.
- The main circuit board has a large cooling rib glued over it that captured a lot of water. Removing it solved that too.
- The camera still had water between the circuit boards and lens cover.
- The battery had visible water between the plates but electronics were dry
