My ARMBook has had this same problem booting up showing the correct time

(for a different reason), and last time I powered up the year was correct.
I just hope it stays that way. We can't all have been messing about with
the time setting either accidentally or intentionally, and so the ARMbooks
must have been sent out with this fault.
Have you used linux on it at all? I think Andrew mentioned in an earlier
post that linux was somehow involved.
I don't know if the fact its 2109 rather than 2019 is significant in
that the middle two digits are swapped. Maybe doing something else is
messing up the year. I did change the time zone when I was abroad but
the year was still right after (and after I set it back to UK time when
I got home).
PS. Does anyone know of software that can translate a CMOS file into a
human-readable file?
I am not sure if it's the same data in the same order as the bytes in
the actual CMOS chip on the earlier machines? I think that is documented
somewhere if so.
