Was this freshwater or saltwater?

It was freshwater
What did you do to it immediately after it got soaked?
I tried to dry it out with rice but when I powered it on, nothing happens. The battery will power one but when I actually put it in the drone, the battery just shuts down. If I try to power up the battery in the drone, the lights on the battery will stay on for as long as I'm holding the power button but as soon as I let go of it, the battery shuts down.
As to replacing the main board, I don't know what calibration you speak of.
It was with a
DJI Smart Controller that I wanted to get repaired. One antenna was broken and the repair shop I contacted said that it'd need to be calibrated to work with the controller and only DJI has the software. So I just figured that maybe the same applies to the mainboard.
These parts are interchangeable. If it is only the mainboard that has a problem then yes you can simply replace it and get it working again.
Great! Question answered
However, if there are other bad components then you will be going down a rabbit hole replacing one thing after another.
Drat
So I would recommend either scrapping it or sending it into a reputable repair center so that they can properly evaluate it and give you a total estimate for all necessary repairs.
I think I'll order the mainboard and if after replacing it, the drone still doesn't work, I'll send it in for repair. Thanks
