Summary: Heating effect, perhaps?


Perhaps the cheap LCD clock shuts down when placed in the sun is
due to heating.  In some cheap units the LCD connets to the PC
board though a flexlible plastic strip with carbon fibers imbedded
in it.  If the parts heated at uneven rates, the connection to the
battery might be lost.  Just a thought...
