I think there are 2-3 possible explanations. The first 2 mean a new clock. If it's the LCD display crapping out (assuming it's a digital clock), then the clock should still be reading the right time when the display re- appears. Liquid crystal displays can be temperamental, but I doubt the temperature is getting low enough. It's more likely the internal clock oscillator is stopping. I doubt there's a practical fix either way. BUT it wouldn't hurt to poke around for flaky electrical connections. These can be temperature sensitive, too. You might be lucky. //Jack
