So I got over adventurous with how good I thought my flying was, and it went down into the water.
So here's what I know.
1. They really don't like salt water, the amount of corrosion was incredible.
2. Don't get one as a grey import to save a few bucks, because DJI care refresh would have been cheaper.
3. The battery will die instantly.
Here's what I have done so far, I washed it with clean water as soon as possible.
I then took everything apart, and cleaned it with 98% alcohol.
The drone will now power on but stays in diagnosis mode. It make all the right noises at start up but goes no further.
It looks like the connector on the board for the front infrared is toast. The corrosion there was massive.
I have decided to send it off to a local repairer to take a look and see what he thinks.
I am worried with the ammount of corrosion I seen that even if he gets it going its only a matter of time before it fails again.
