Left in the rain, motors won't spin up

[Brick]

my typhoon Q5004K got left out in the rain. All lights and alerts ie: beeps plus the camera is fine. Motors won't operate, can anyone give me any advise on how to proceed

WHAT About the battery. IS it wet?

 

[johnnyb57]

Did you dry it before powering it up first ? By drying I'm referring to using a hair drier

i took the battery out and tried to dry with a blow dryer two weeks later put a brand new battery in. That when everything worked except the motors.

WTFDproject. (the WTFD is for "Way To Fix Drones")
Have you connected the Q500 to the GUI to see what may be causing the issue?
Other Folks have encountered things like being in a "No Fly Zone" or trying to start the motors while the controller flight mode switch is in Return to Home position.

Will the motors start if you switched off the GPS support? Maybe the GPS fix is missing due to HW problems with GPS module. If the drone was out in rain, to disconnect and connect again all connectors of the motherboard is a good idea.
