No, it doesn't indicate that at all! It means there was something wrong
with those specific displays, which we later traced to a manufacturing
defect in a chip inside the display glass.  The displays are specced to
run from -40 to +85 celcius, (-40 to 185 F), and all the internal
components are rated roughly the same. Those bad displays were blanking
out at just a couple degrees above room temperature. 

I haven't heard of any problems running SB3 at high temperatures and I
don't think 115F would be any problem at all. We haven't stress-tested
a large sample at high temperatures so I don't know the typical limit
but it should be well beyond that. Unless you notice erratic behavior,
the only thing I would worry about is if you're drinking enough water.
