I don't think there's a short answer. It depends on a zillion issues such as the temperature extremes in question, the rate of heating/cooling, the soldering process that was used, the density of the board, and so on. "Fatigue" issues from heat cycling should be negligible, at least in the typical range of 70-110 °F. I would be more concerned about running for extended time at a steady high temperature - over a few years there could be significant degradation of electrolytic capacitors, among other things. Generally I would think it's best to turn stuff off when you're not using it - saves power if nothing else. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50759
