yes.Used spray.
This I think is several possibilities:
One, a weak part(probably a cap) is actually /discharging over night/ 
being unplugged (rather than coolingdown.)
Once it has been tried the next morning, it gets charged up and will 
soon work all day.Cooling sprays would be no help here.
Second possibility is temperature of a borderline part /cooling overnight./
Third: a /hairline crack/ in a trace,solder connection,etc, thru 
/expansion/contraction overnight/ affects it.
I flex, tap,etc while on and get no reaction. I have freeze sprayed 
while on the caps and some reg ICs to no avail. The real test is always 
overnight unplugged. I was thinking of /leaving it plugged in/ but 
turned off this weekend to test my charge-up/discharge cap theory: Is a 
part discharging, or cooling off.
