You are correct: the "logic board battery" for the Clamshells is the iBook 
battery. When you take the one-and-only batter out of the iBook, everything 
goes back to 1904 as far as the hardware is concerned, and December 31, 1969 
as far as Mac OS X is concerned. (The UNIX epoch)

This is at least the case with my Blueberry. The last batch of Clamshells 
might be different.

Take care,
Michelle
