If by 'jumping' you mean skipping, sounds like a toast gear.

or if you mean it 'twitches' and such, then yea I'd say the water got to it. But it is a cheap servo. you get what you pay for is how i look at it.

I've got a bin full of cheap MG servo's that I rebuild. It'd be really nice when I can get a good servo so I can toss all my cheap shit.

If all the wires are good, I'd say the board is toast, or just shorting out from a little moisture.

I'd pull it apart, look inside, and check the board for moisture, but even if there's none.... I've had a few cheap servo's do the same thing with no moisture inside. I just use them for parts at that point and toss the board.

Im fairly noob, maybe someone with more experience will chime in before you toss it.
