In August of 2018, I was using my drone at the beach and a gust of wind slammed it into the beach house and it fell into the regular water pool (not salt water). I jumped in and retrieved it and then tucked it away for a few weeks to let it properly dry. I used a hair dryer, compressed air, etc. to make sure it was completely dry. The battery worked fine. It turned off and on and was able to charge. So, I plugged the battery in and one of the motors started smoking. I removed the battery, bought a new motor, installed it, and plugged in the battery. Again, the new motor smoked so I removed the battery. I assume this means the main board has gone bad. Before I buy a new main board, I want to see if the camera was damaged. So I removed the new motor I installed and wanted to see if I could get the camera to work without that motor. At this point, my battery stopped taking a charge and was dead. So I bought another battery and plugged it in with the motor removed. Nothing. I get no activity from the drone at all.
I would still be willing to buy a new main board but it would suck to buy that and find out the camera was bad. Anyone have any advice on this?
