I wonder if the Perseverance can make its way over to the helicopter and jump start its electronic systems so they can get the crash logs.

The helicopter isn't dead, it broke a rotor. They can still communicate with it since they were able reestablish comms.

Did it crash? I won't be surprised if NASA can make it walk or hop even with a broken rotor.
