Guide overview

Before you begin

This step-by-step guide demonstrates how to restore a water-damaged DJI drone, including the DJI Mavic 3, using safe and effective cleaning and drying techniques. Whether your drone fell into freshwater or saltwater, this method can help you recover it and avoid permanent damage. You'll learn how to safely disassemble the drone, flush internal components with distilled water and isopropyl alcohol, remove corrosion, and properly dry all parts before testing. The techniques, tips, and recommendations shown in this video are universal for most DJI drones—from entry-level models to professional-grade devices like the DJI Mavic 3. If your drone powered down mid-flight, lost signal over water, or was submerged after a crash, this guide provides a valuable approach to bring it back to life. ⚠️ Important Reminder: Self-repair may void your DJI warranty. If your drone is still under warranty or covered by DJI Care Refresh, it’s strongly recommended to contact DJI’s official service before attempting any repair.
