Hi. Do I have any hope that my RS630 lawn mowing robot will be ok? Anything I should do. The RS630 was caught in a flash flood and has been submerged for a week. I have washed it off and have it in my garage with a fan blowing on it.
Keep it submerged in water until you can completely flush it out with clean water, disassemble, carefully clean and dry all parts.

Thanks.
We suggest to remove batteries inside the robot. Next, as mentioned it would be recommended to remove the electronics and motherboards found in the product.
Since the robot was probably in not so clean water for a while, we suggest to spray the components and board liberally with distilled water. With slight pressure and not just a fine mist.
Then clean the boards with a rubbing alcohol chaser to displace the water.
You can then examine the board for deposits between the traces and remove them with a Q-tip as needed. Dry the board with paper towels and place it in front of a fan in a warm (but not hot) room.
Leave it dry for a few days and then plug the batteries and test.
Hope this helps.
