Strange watches behavior on PB180c

My PowerBook 180c works perfectl, except system clocks. Today it started to increase fast by each tick. It looks like the system timer increases randomly.
What should I check first?
 
Update: I disassembled the book, carefully removed and cleaned all daughter boards. After this procedure system clock were reset to zeroes. Assembling my PowerBook back I powered it and finally clock are running normally again.
 
I had something possibly similar with my 180 after I had removed a faulty RAM card, and replaced it with a good one. The system clock began skipping both date and time, almost every time a key was pressed. I disassembled the laptop again, removed the new card and refitted it. The problem didn't go away until the next day, when for no reason at all that I could tell, it just stopped happening.
