When I checked it out apparently I didn't click the reciever ON lever all the way over. The bump shut off the switch. Just one of those weird things. Now I always check to make sure its on all the way.

I know this sounds crazy but take the servos apart and put them in a bowl of rice, this rice will absorb the water. It worked with a cell phone of mine so i dont see why it wouldnt work on servos...give it a try.........
