let it sit for a few days and dry on its own try it out and if it doesnt work then use a fieldtester if u hav 1 and place it on the bateries - end and touch all the solders on the main board if 1 is bad then replace that part

the servo probably needs a new potentiometer if it fell in front first take the servo apart and let it dry all the way regrease it and put it 2gether try it and if it works then reinstall it youll need a screwdriver 4 eye glasses 4 this and if u want 2 grease it u dont hv 2 but its better 4 it then white lithium grease is good 4 that

the potentiometer is a sensor inside the servo that lets the electronics know if its turned right left or centered it looks like a pole on a base in a way it should hav a gear on it if you clean it and its still broke then get 1 of those there pretty simple 2 find idk about that small though just rig sumthing up
