You just resolder the 10pins or whatever for the connector, and it will fix it!

Not hard at all, fixed mine in just over anhour with removal/install time.

Not necessarily true. For instance my clock situation was caused by the ribbon cables actually breaking out of their solder joints. They would make contact but any jolt or bump caused them to lose contact and reset the clock.

Ever since I fixed it and re-soldered everything it has kept accurate and bright time. Only dimming when I turn on the lights (as they should).
