Error Code.

[Pauly55]

Hi all.
Great forum.
Was wondering if anyone could help me out with this error code?
160000C
Battery communication error.
I’ve tried 3 fully charged batteries with no luck.
It did land in a small puddle of water when landing but was quickly retrieved and put in a bag of rice for several days.
Cheers

@Pauly55 unfortunately even though the drone was only in the water for a brief moment, it would have entered the innards of the drone, and caused something to short out,in one of the battery contacts ,or even the main board itself if you have care refresh i would send it back for a replacement as you will be aware the Mini 3 sits very close to the ground ,and has plenty of openings to allow water ingress

Unfortunately, the rice bag dry out trick rarely works. It doesn't take much water to short out these drones, particularly ones that sit as low to the ground as the Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro.
