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.
