| I left my 2730 on the dash the other day in 95* heat while shopping.
Since then, it does not work right. Could the heat exposure be the
problem?
How much heat can it stand??
THANKS

you don't say Fahrenheit or Centigrade. 95 F is below body temperature
and I would expect no problems. 95 C is almost boiling water temperature
and I would expect quite a few problems. If it was in the sun it
probably got quite a bit hotter and some of the plastic may have bent.
Also some components, display backlight for example generate a bit of
heat themselves and could easily fail when powered up if too hot
