I do not believe heat has anything to do with electronics not working.
More likely it is humidity (water). If you have dew on circuits and the power is switched ON, the electrolysis may oxidize the already poor joint and cause fault. Usually, re-soldering restores the functionality.
Or, vibrations/shock was the cause....
Or damaged connectors (this can always happen on such occasions)..
