<p dir="ltr">Put the drive in a ziplock bag with the cables attached and sticking out. Seal the bag around the cables with tape. Add a "do not eat" bag of drier pellets before sealing. Then put it in the freezer.<br>
When you test it, keep the test short. Any humidity will condense and make a worse problem. It would be best to have it sit for a while in a desiccated environment before the cool down. The vent will let moist air move both ways.</p>

I managed to back up almost everything but I missed /usr/share which had<br>
some customized stuff in it. The drive does not seem to want to come<br>
back alive now so I may not be able to get to it. I may try again in a<br>
few days and see if I can coax the drive into booting just once more.<br>

If it's the hard drive, put it in the freezer for a couple of hours. I've had that work occasionally.<br>
