Hi, I left my Microsoft surface go in the car overnight (11 hours) at about 0 degrees C (I think), and it won’t turn on… It was really cold to touch but now it’s heating up but won’t turn on. Can I fix it at home ? Or will it be broken inside ?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Penny, as @jayeff has said, let it charge, then try turning it on in a little while. The important thing about electronics that has been left in a cold (but otherwise dry) environment, is to let it slowly acclimatise (as in warm back up to room temperature) before doing anything. Blasting it with heat and such, is a sure fire way to let condensation form, and cause liquid damage to the boards inside.

Hi,
Does it indicate that the battery is charging when the charger is connected to the laptop?

@jayeff hi thanks for your answer, I haven’t tried plugging it in since I didn’t want to break it if there’s moisture inside, but will try now

@jayeff it is charging yes

Hopefully it won't take too long but allow it to fully charge and then try turning it on, with the charger still plugged in.

I would personally leave it in the house for 24 hours to gradually warm back up. It's not really the laptop, more the chemicals in the battery.
