Question:

While driving, you place your phone in a cubby on the dashboard of your car. It's a frigid winter day in upstate New York, so you've turned up the heat in your car. When you get at your destination and take out your phone, you realize that it has shut down and will not switch back on. What should you do?

A Let the phone cool down before turning it on again.
explanation

The phone has overheated due to the car heater blowing hot air on it, and it is in an unventilated area. It needs to cool off before being used again. Because you have the heat on, the phone wouldn't be too cold. A new phone is probably not necessary. Most current phones will shut down before any harm happens, and most modern phones do not have removable batteries.
