I would suggest the power supply is failing.

Bad solder joint, when the joint heats up, the wires / connections start to spread apart from metal / solder expansion. This can cause power to go out after a bit of time.

To roughly test, shoot a fan of cool air at the device, and test. Maybe take off the cover if this won't void warranty or be to difficult, then test.

Heat dissipation may be difficult, depending on where the joint is, but if you can see one visually, then re-flowing may fix the problem.

( of course, this is all speculation )

hth, ymmv, imho, etc.
