Perhaps the cheap LCD clock shuts down when placed in the sun is
due to heating.  In some cheap units the LCD connets to the PC
board though a flexlible plastic strip with carbon fibers imbedded
in it.  If the parts heated at uneven rates, the connection to the
battery might be lost.  Just a thought...
