Two things that need to be checked - the cable from the battery to the starter can be lose, and cause intermittent starting, even with a good battery.
The second thing, more likely, is called the CPS, crank position sensor, which tells the computer where everything is so that the spark sequence is correct. The car won't start if the CPS connection is loose, or the sensor is bad.
I changed out the CPS in my MY99 9-5 Sportwagon after two episodes of not-starting when the engine was warm. The problem went away after that, but I kept the old one as a spare.
The CPS is plug and play type repair, and could be done by someone with a bit of knowledge. A bad CPS apparently does not give a code, so the mechanic can miss it. I think the part was about $150 Canadian when I bought it last year.
Good Luck
