I will admit to sticking a phone into the freezer - It was a HTC DesireHD - It was supposed to have a software problem(the person said who sold it to me) - It would boot up and then turn straight off. I put it in the freezer for about 2 mins and turned it on and it worked perfectly(for a few mins) - Diagnosed as overheating and later I sold it again via eBay and found out it was water damaged.
I have heard strange fixes for Xbox - wrap it in towels and put it in airing cupboard... PS3's YLOD fix - cooking the actual motherboard in the oven....

Did you add this post just so I would wet myself? I've already said I'm drinking.
So you put a phone in a freezer for 2 minutes and expect the temperature within to phone to drop (better off giving it a blast from a Co2 extinguisher) THEN, you mention it's water damaged.
Well I wonder why?
