I think the main problem is condensation forming in the player. Do you have any of those silica gel packs (you often find them inside vitamin bottles)? Maybe you could put the iFP in a jar with a few silica gel packs, which should allow it to come up to normal temperature without condensation forming inside the unit. Just an idea...
Then again, I read somewhere that someone put their iFP through the washing machine and it survived OK, so a bit of condensation may make no difference, just let it dry thoroughly before trying to play anything
