One of the motors has dirt/mud grit inside the housing, and now won't turn as freely. I quickly turned off the drone and haven't turned it back on since.
Can I take apart the housing to clean it out without voiding the DJI Care Refresh warranty?
(If I can clean it out and get back in the air, I'd prefer to do that; once I clean it out, I'm going to look into how to do prop balancing before I consider sending it in for work.)
Also, this occured because it crashed at launch and I need to figure out why that happened; I launched it by hand, but I could immediately feel the right side motors pulling up more than the left side. Visual positioning was off (shooting over water and hand catching), but I saw GPS mode before I throttled up so I figured it was safe to launch. It drifted hard left into the leaves of a tree and then landed at the edge of the river with one leg in the mud.
I think the rest of it stayed dry but I'm letting it air out for a few days just in case. I had just flown it successfully a few minutes earlier with no issues.
