Woman's MacBook Won't Turn On Anymore: Will an Igloo Fridge Really Save It?

A woman's Apple MacBook mysteriously stopped working one day, leaving her searching for a solution to revive it. In a bizarre attempt to fix the problem, she resorted to using an unconventional method – putting her laptop inside an Igloo mini fridge.

The video, which has garnered over 1.3 million views on TikTok, shows the woman's MacBook resting on her lap as she tries to turn it on by pressing the power button with her index finger and right-clicking with the touchpad. However, nothing seems to work, leaving her frustrated.

Many viewers have chimed in with their own experiences and proposed solutions, ranging from simple fixes like checking the brightness level to more unconventional methods like plugging the laptop into a different port or using specific keyboard combinations. One viewer even suggested trying a "last resort" method – putting the MacBook in an Igloo mini fridge.

But does this unorthodox approach really work? Unfortunately, @monkeyandlucy, the content creator behind the TikTok video, tried it and was met with failure. Despite plugging her laptop into the charger and leaving it for several seconds, the screen remained dark.

The Risks of Using an Igloo Fridge as a Cooling Device

Experts warn that using an Igloo fridge to cool down an overheated device like a MacBook can cause more harm than good. "Abruptly shifting temperature can cause condensation on the laptop's components, leading to electric shorts," warns Make Use Of.

The smaller size and tighter tolerances of modern electronics make them more susceptible to damage from extreme temperatures. Placing a MacBook in an Igloo fridge could potentially further damage it beyond repair.

What's Next for @monkeyandlucy's MacBook?

Frustrated with the lack of success, @monkeyandlucy has decided to take her MacBook to Apple for a diagnosis. With the help of their experts, she may be able to identify the cause of the problem and get her laptop up and running again.
