Q: clock resets
When I remove and return the battery the clock resets, telling me something inside is not remembering. Also, twice before when running on battery it gave me a 10-second warning it was going to do something if I didn't do something pretty soon, and it powered down immediately and would not come back on until I connected it to line current, at which time the calendar had reset to something like 1969. These two behaviors suggest there is something inside that is supposed to be keeping track of what's going on but it's not. Any ideas?

Hello,
Yes it does, as a 12" don't have a PRAM battery. It uses a board mounted capacitor.
