That is bad, have you gone back to thinking about a junk yard model?
For a nanosecond. I feel more secure getting it from this joint. They will have checked it out and they give me a lifetime warranty. A boneyard would be patchwork by comparison. And I had trouble finding one last time I looked. I think the boneyards sell to parts stores who do nothing more than clean it and put it on their shelf. The horror stories I have read!

expansion/contraction thermal situations... seems as if there may be a weak bond point on the chips board and as the IC heats up and expands the bond point no longer makes the connection... wala bad/open circuit and dead truck... let it cool, the bond point reconnects and it works.
I had a Chrysler station wagon with the computer attached to the air cleaner... it would heat up and die, I would pull out a container of CO2 and give it a good shot of it to cool it off, wait a couple of minutes and restart it, it would be good for another few hrs. altho sitting in traffic would lessen the recovery time to an hours worth of run time. I eventually found a junk yard replacement part and repaired it.

When I was working with McDermott ( offshore), there were times we had to do inshore work on occasion. One job was being the main support ( lifting crane) for the building of the offshore rig "Cognac" ( at that time the largest offshore rig ever built). As we were building the primary base at the yard, they had to put the base on a set of "railroad tracks" to allow for expansion/contraction, the base would "travel" over 4.5 feet between 2 pm and 5 am due to the heat/cold cycles. The longer struts and such had to be cut during specific times of the day and installed within so many hours after being cut to insure that the fit would be "good"...

Mine would cut out at all times. While I was going down the highway, after coming out of a store, 10 seconds after starting the truck after it sat for three days. No apparent pattern. Hot or cold. I’m thinking there is some sensor that protects the microprocessor that has failed. The thing that protects it is what wrecks it.

That’s a garage shelf I ordered last week from Home Depot. They’re finally getting around to delivering it.
