Comment(by gnu):

 Turns out that some early mass-production motherboards contained bad
 clock-battery holders (due to a worn plastic mold), which resulted in some
 batteries popping out during shipping, e.g. when a box was dropped.  The
 resulting loss of RTC date caused a certain amount of DOA bricking,
 *without* anyone doing disassembly of units.
