    If you have a failed mechanical hard drive for a computer, putting the hard drive in freezer overnight can buy you about 10 minute of functional operation before the drive heats up and fails again. You usually only get one shot at this, but if you know where your critical data is, 10 minutes can usually get the data saved off.
