Is there something in the trapdoor? It getting hot used to make my A1200 go nuts before I started keeping it raised above the desk with milk jug caps.

A500's don't have an internal battery. That's the reason why there are those clock expansion things. Before them, you had to reset the time with every boot-up. Or, like probably everyone, ever, not worry about setting the correct time at all. :-)

Maybe you're not in Australia afterall, but actually in New Zealand by mistake, and what you are experiencing are the mandatory power outages.
