It would seem there are a vast number of large boats (not to mention RVs) that come factory equipped with LCD TVs built in. These are known to be seasonal use items. Somehow I don't see thousands(or millions) of people in cold climates pulling their built in TVs out of their RVs and boats before they are shrink wrapped. And its doubtful they will have power to them while they are in storage. Possibly the the problem with the laptop was that it was turned 'on' while it was still cold. Sure, apply current to a frozen LCD and what do you think will happen? Willing to bet if he let it warm to room temp before starting, things might have been different. Face it, by the time the shrink wrap comes off in the spring, the ambient temp is in the acceptable range anyway.
