Malfunction in BeachTek XLR adapter question

Hi, I use a Canon GL2, with a beachtek xlr audio adapter, and I've been using it for a year with no problem. But when doing my last movie, a channel would not record, so that when I watched the levels, only the right side would be working.

Everything was switched to the right spot, and I would watch it go from fully working, to only one side coming in. Whether I was using two mics, or one. I checked everything, there was no logical explanation for it to happen.

I just now I tried it again, and it's been fine. It has been very humid lately, and hot, and my equipment was in a place that was a little higher than room temperature. Is hot weather known to do that?
 
Could be a loose connection in either the GL2's mic input or the Beachtek, I've had both. Hard as hell to lock down which it is without another camera or adapter to use as a control.
