If thats the case then when the system works out its the 01/03/2010 and so a valid date it will all work fine and can be manually changed to the right date...As far as I know it resets the clock and then you can manually set it to today's date bypassing the date that borket the system, but the problem is if it is a problem with the logic of the chip then fixing it this way could mean that you would run into the same problem again @ the next leap year.
CBA to read the link but you could quite easily divide the MTBF by the warranty period and give you quite a nice usage per day figure for most things I would have thought...A paragraph from

Of course, the "Sony Timer" has never been proved and there’s no evidence that it’s anything other than a Japanese urban legend. But things got pretty interesting when it was revealed that a bug in selected E-Series Bravia TVs meant they’d only last 1,200 hours, before refusing to power on or off. This conveniently adds up to about 3 hours watching per day for one year, the exact period of the television’s warranty. Sony issued a software patch to fix the problem.
Makes you wonder......
