And I'd let it sit for a while just to be safe. Turning something on |
| 15 |
that still has condensation on/in it is a bad thing all the way around. |

I still remember one time MANY years ago when we got our first color |
| 17 |
TV. It was cold as heck too. Well, we left it in the back seat of the |
| 18 |
car while we was running around doing errands and the car never warmed |
| 19 |
up between trips. We were just bouncing around town. When we finally |
| 20 |
got home, my Dad brought the TV in and it took a little bit to unhook |
| 21 |
and move the old TV out and put the new TV in. By that time, it had |
| 22 |
built up enough condensation somewhere in there that it sparked and a |
| 23 |
few seconds later it really sparked. Then the smoke got out. We all |
| 24 |
know what happens when the smoke got out. Brand new TV was junk. |

If I had put that old thing in the freezer just to play around or |
| 27 |
something, I'd cut it off before taking it out, take the side off and |
| 28 |
let it warm up. Once warmed up, put a little fan on it overnight or |
| 29 |
something to be safe. |

I might add, my deep freezer runs between -10F and about 0F. I doubt |
| 32 |
any puter would warm up much unless it is using really small heat |
| 33 |
sinks. It would certainly be under cooled for a room temp environment. |

It was just a thought tho. ;-) |
