Members n9ne Posted February 17, 2015 Members Share Posted February 17, 2015 According to the internet (which NEVER lies), you can safely thaw an electronic device by sealing it in an airtight bag outside before bringing it into a warmer environment. You'll also want to trap some cold air in the bag as well. The cold air contains virtually no humidity or moisture, so no condensation will form as the electronics warm to room temperature. And once they reach room temperature, you can open the bag since condensation is no longer a concern. http://windowssecrets.com/langalist-...n-electronics/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nijyo Posted February 17, 2015 Members Share Posted February 17, 2015 So I've left my TC Helicon in the car and we have an ice storm here in Nashville. Bad move Any advice for thawing it out safely? Is there, like, actually any significant frost on it? If not, I'd just leave it at room temperature for like 12 hours and it should sort itself out. Has worked for me in the past, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you got some nice stuff going on in Nashville since I left! Good for you man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members moogerfooger Posted February 26, 2015 Members Share Posted February 26, 2015 funny thread. just let it come up to near room temp before power on. in 45 years Ive never had cold permanently effect any piece of electronic equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members maarkr Posted March 12, 2015 Members Share Posted March 12, 2015 bring up to room temp slowly, and if it is a sensitive electronic, put it in a bag with uncooked white rice... the best thing for absorbing moisture and condensation next to silica... and cheaper. often works for cell phones dropped in the water also.
