Yes, I’m a grade A idiot.

So I lost my phone a year and a half ago while I was moving. I assumed it got thrown out in the trash by accident and gave up.

I was clearing out my freezer a few minutes ago and, no shit, there it was in the very back. I pulled it out. It’s thawing right now.

It was not frozen in ice or any moisture that I could tell. It is still in the case which is not waterproof.

Is there any chance whatsoever that I could salvage the data on there? How can I maximize that chance? TIA

    Probably should have put it in the refrigerator for several days first to thaw out slowly and avoid developing condensation in the internals. Then into the 9ven placed on “warm” for dry heat and warming (NOT HOT) for a couple of hours. Then charging attempt.
