| Sounds like a bad solder joint... ...or otherwise known as a "cold" joint, as in, wasn't heated all the way thru.
Happens, and if it's no covered under warranty I would just look for any solder joint that doesn't look great and retouch them. Or, just do all of them. Can be easier than trying to judge what's bad or good.
I once had a sweet 20 inch monitor that would work when cold but shorted out when it warmed up. I spent a half day touching all the solder joints (HUNDREDS OF THEM) and it worked perfectly for several years after. |
