Never heard of this on a Cube but I know this is a common issue with
G3 Pismo powerbooks, they frequently will not start with a bad CMOS
battery but run fine with the CMOS battery unplugged.

Perhaps a bad battery is just strong enough to keep corrupted
information, unplug it and the CMOS memory goes blank?
