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
Keep a fan on it and if at all possible, warm air (not hot). Let it sit under airflow for at least a week. You want to go overboard. If you have the correct tools, opening it up just to look for moisture, I’d advise that too. Do not power on until 110% sure no moisture is present.
