Hello all, About a week ago I left my palm in my car for over 8 hours in freezing weather. I know this is a no no. When I brought it back in ant tried to use it the screen was one big black square. I hoped that maybe it was just frozen. So I kept it inside hoping it would thaw. No such look. The black screen is still there. However if i haven't messed with it in a few hours, if i push the power button, and hold it down until the backlight comes on the screen flashes normal, and I see the set date screen. But then it quickly returns to a black screen. Any ideas? Can it be saved??? Thanks for any and all advice.
