Well, I had my first crash after 10 hours of flying, 100% caused by my own stupidity (many lessons learned). Anyway the drone ended up in water for about 1 minute, maybe less. I let it dry out for 2 days outside in the sun and then fired it back up. It asked me to re-update the firmware which I ran successfully, then I calibrated the compass without issue. The ONLY issue I can see is it will not get ANY satellites. As a test I went to an open field and tried it in atti but instead of taking off it says "gps unconnected". I've done some google searches and nothing comes up. Literally when you "google phantom 3 standard "gps unconnected"" there are zero results. I will probably end up taking it apart tonight or tomorrow to verify the connections.
A couple of questions -
Is there a way to take off without gps? (not just atti, thats not working)
Can I buy a replacement GPS unit if it did get damaged by the water?
Any insight would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
