That freezer trick is a wild fix for a flickering screen. Did you just wrap it in a towel or put it straight in? I'm curious what part actually gets cold enough to temporarily work again.

Honestly I saw a whole thread about this once. The cold can make bad solder joints contract and reconnect for a bit. It's not a real fix, just a last ditch thing before something dies for good. You're basically shocking the parts back into place until they heat up and break again. I'd back up your stuff if you try it, lmao. It's a total gamble.
