#5231: Date cleared due to RTC battery coming loose

 Priority:  normal              |   Milestone:  Update.1      
Component:  hardware            |     Version:  CTest Hardware

--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 On C2 S/N CSN7450004D (SKU 19), the unit refused to boot due to the date
 being cleared.  It was bricked, as the security flag was set.

 Further examination showed that the RTC battery had come loose from its
 socket.   The socket did not appear damaged.

 We don't know if it was mis-inserted in the first place or if it came
 loose in shipping.

 The resolution was to reseat the battery and replace the SPI flash with
 one that didn't have the security flag set.
