GoPro Comm Issue after Water Damage

[jump_123]

Long story short, solo took a dip in a lake, I was able to grab it, dry it out and re-fly it after doing a factory restart.

However, I am now having issues with communications between the app and go pro. The video feed is still there, however it automatically starts "recording" video when I get up to 100 feet or so and then I cannot stop the recording or switch to photo mode. Also, the app says it is recording but actually is not.

I have opened back up the gimbal to make sure the connections were good and they seem to be.

Any potential thoughts on fixes?

What model GoPro?
What kind of mobile device?
Does the GoPro work if you bypass the gimbal and hook the HDMI cable directly to the GoPro?
If the GoPro got wet (I presume it did) also it may be damaged.
If you can, use another GoPro to see if the problem persists. If it goes away, you know the GoPro is the problem.
When it says "recording" is it really?

Does the GoPro work correctly (all functions) when not in the gimbal? If so, the problem is likely in Solo.

Any other problems with Solo? Does the gimbal function correctly? Do you have to reach 100' or will the problem occur if you fly for a while at, say 50'?

Make sure you try resetting the a GoPro by pulling its battery. Sometimes my Hero 3+ Black needs a little reminder of who is in charge.
