PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!
I accidentally crashed my DJI Phantom FC40 in the River Thames last week. I lost control I don't know whether it was battery fault or the fact that one of my rotors had been a bit sticky of late. It was under water for 3 hours until the tide went out. I managed to save it and after a few days of drying it out, I turned it on and it started up ok. Though I have noticed that only one led and rotor is actually working. The other three are dead and there is no led lighting up under the 3 dead ones. There is also a consistent beeping noise from it too, not sure what this means. Reading some forums I think I need 3 new ESC's and 3 new rotors. I ain't very good with a soldering iron but willing to give it a go. I was just wondering whether any of you guys have replaced the ESC's on your Phantoms and is it easy? Or would I be best selling it for parts on Ebay and buy a new one? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
