Please let me thank you for the link. That will prove very useful I think.
It's curious. The device does go online, I get connection bars and can browse the Kindle Store. However the clock doesn't reset, regardless of how long I leave it online for.
Owing to the error messages in the logs, I had assumed that the inability to use the security certificate (caused by the date mismatch) was interfering with the ability for the automatic time synching to work.
It clearly has the network time available. I can see it in the logs.
Assuming the unit has a clock capacitor or battery, a hardware failure there might explain the reset. But I'd assume that system time would exist in memory as long as the unit was under power. The unit is now counting forward from 1970.
Maybe the network update time function works by updating the hardware clock, and if the hardware clock is broken the function fails before updating system time?
Oh well. I'll try to fix the time using the methods you've outlined, and then see where the log takes me.
My thanks again for your help
