According to sources, the primary problem was likely ice clogging one of the vent lines that carry pressurized gas away from the vehicle. Several attempts were made to melt the ice, but these efforts were not successful, necessitating the scrub.
Additionally there appears to have been a problem with at least one of the auxiliary power units that provide power to the rocket after the engines shut off. One of the primary purposes of these APUs is to power the deployment of landing legs needed to make a soft touchdown on the company's droneship, Jacklyn.
it is likely that there will be at least a 48-hour turnaround time. This is due to the need to resupply propellant at Launch Complex-36

Why exactly do they have a 0100-0400 ET launch window every night? They aren't trying to synchronize with anything in orbit.
