I regret to say that I had an incident with a dead battery over a saltwater pool, and now I have a mostly inoperable drone. When it first went down it was in for about 30 seconds, when it was recovered we used a hair dryer on it and it's inside as well once I got the cover off. I plugged a new battery in to see how bad it was, the light blinked yellow like normal but would not connect to the transmitter (no change in lights)
It's a day later now, I hot boxed it earlier today for a few hours and tried again. The transmitter connected and all seemed normal. I connected it to my laptop to test the motors but it would not connect. Oddly enough the main light turned green like normal, but flickered. After awhile of trying cords and stuff the green light slowly faded out. Now if I turn it on it is always a red light. It blinks red rapidly when transmitter is off, and slower when it is on. connecting to computer shows a solid red light...
I think that the other lights are broken b/c when I leave the remote on for a second no lights come on at all. Strangely all wing lights activate on power activation(plugged in the battery).
I don't know what to do, windows says usb device not recognized on connection. I figure that the bird is fried and will never fly again. But it's worth seeing if you guys have any ideas, other than buying a new one...
