It COULD still be working. He did not charge the battery initially. After all that "freezing" time while still on, the battery surely went dead, especially since batteries do not hold charge well when cold. To see if it still works, he needs to thaw it out, charge the battery, THEN try to turn it on.

Uhh, I don't think so. Lithium Ion batteries (I'm going to guess the JAQ uses LiIon) actually hold a charge BETTER when they're cold.
