DJI Mini 2 WATER SUBMERSION HELP
I was flying my drone when it hit a tree and it fell on a pool of water that had green things in it (maybe algae idk). We immediately took it out and removed the batteries. It seems it sat there for about 5 seconds. We dried it by shaking it and left it in the sun for some time. Then we used the dryer to dry everything inside. Then I found online that you should immerse it with alcohol to avoid corrosion. So I bought a 70% isopropyl alcohol as 99.99% wasn't available, and poured it over the drone before drying it again with the dryer. After that I left it in a bag of rice for about 24 hours. I tested it with the battery that was affected and it said battery error and also barometer fault or something. I switched the battery and everything worked fine this time. After I took it out, I notice seeing water inside (like small droplets) only to be surprised that they were hard. Now I don't know what to do.
Questions: Shall I take apart the drone to bettery dry it? Did corrosion already set in, was it right using the alcohol? Is 70% ok? Do I have to soak it in an alcoholic bath instead of just pouring alcohol in it? Was the rice a good move? What did those hard water mean? How long should I wait before flying it again? It seems like there was still water inside, what should I do? Do I take it off and redry it again?
Thnx to whoever answers this

You did not dry it enough no alcohol needed even it good idea, alcohol is for deluting water inside and helping to dry faster, remember your battery have circuit boards inside as well and needed to be dry for a couple of days on the sun hot day in the shade or it will melt inside.
By the way great fix here https://youtu.be/sfa_9fS3BVY
