Left my laptop overnight in cold car
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 ?
Is this a good question?

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.
