Sounds like bad or leaky capacitors. When the caps on the power board on my 42" tv failed, the TV would take time to power up, and the colder it was, the longer it took. I had a large Zenith console TV doing the same thing.
There's probably several thousand of those LCD panels sitting new in box stuffed in the back of some warehouse in Taiwan or Japan. The other day I
My brother and I are both synthheads. I don't have a Juno-G, but he does, and I asked him last night about his. Apparently the LCD issues with those units stem from a factory defect with the original LCDs used, which was addressed by Roland later by offering free repairs. The updated LCDs were available for a while, but stocks have long been depleted. He told me that his was still original, and he managed to make the LCD work "well enough" to be usable, but I don't know the details.

I don't have any experience with newer Roland synths, except for my JD-Xi (which is a tiny powerhouse!). I do have an old Alpha Juno 1, though. Clunky interface, but nice sounds. A few years ago, I started looking at the Behringer DeepMind 12 as a way to get vintage Juno 60 sounds without the has (and expense!) of an aging 80s synth, but even though it begin as a Juno 60 clone, during the design process it evolved into so much more. I had one in studio within a month. I'm a fan.

Whenever I think of old synths, I don't think of DX7's or Rolands. I thnk o those cheesy little Casio portables. Here's an example

Interesting.. Maybe I'll open it up and look for any capacitors that look bad. I bought mine used in 2011, but I think they started making this model around 2006-2008. I seem to remember hearing stories of particularly bad capacitors around that time.

2002-2003 was the prime plague years, but some companies kept using whatever stock they had left for the next 3 or 4 years.
