DJI say my P4P is a write-off. I disagree.

Ok, it was my fault. I accidentally allowed my P4P to touch down in one inch of water. The camera was submerged in a freshwater stream for about two seconds. Only the camera. I have the video.

After my attempts to dry it out over several days, I took it out for a test flight. Everything works perfectly except the gimbal; it just does not respond. Video is working but I cannot control the gimbal. All flight controls work perfectly. Just no gimbal.

I sent it back to DJI and after almost three weeks they say it's a total write-off. Naturally, I disagree. Surely a new gimbal is all it needs. Still expensive, but not as much as a whole new drone. Anybody got a view on this?
 
Wow! So now what are you gonna do? Should just need a new gimble and camera assembly I would think. Which is about 700 bucks Im sure.
 
Since it flew after the incident they can't claim the short in the gimbal cooked the main board.
