First thing that comes to my mind is a cracked PC board internally or a cracked solder joint. In this case, as the device warms up and cools down, the circuit boards will expand and contract. When there is a hairline crack in a solder joint or PCB, this expansion/contraction can be enough to make/break the electrical connection across the crack.
You could try gently tapping around the top and back of the SB3 and see if the problematic display lines come and go. If so, you are likely looking at a cracked solder joint or PBC. You couldn then open it up and visually inspect the components for the defect. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
