Problem? Aircraft will turn on (the lights show), but nothing happens.

Was unit in a crash? Yes. Literally the dumbest crash on Earth. A gust of wind took my drone and it crashed into a fence landing in a bird bath. It was about half submerged and I was able to grab it after a minute.

What have you tried so far? After it crashed, I hair dryed it on low heat from afar, wiped the exterior and put into a box of rice for three days. I've contacted a repairer who said they will clean it up on the inside but I'm not sure if this is worth it.

What device are you using ( iphone , ipad, Samsung , etc)? Google Pixel 3xl

What firmware are you running ( aircraft, remote controller)? Newest

What Go app version are you using? Newest

Any modification?
None

Did you change anything or install any apps? Nothing to the aircraft

Do you have a video or pictures of the problem? (if so post link) Nope.
 
No mention of taking the battery out of the drone. Should have been the first thing that happens after retrieving the drone from the water. The water has probably caused a short circuit and fried a circuit board.
