I would first suspect the new battery if the clock was working, then went to
12:00 with the old battery in it, then only reads 12:00 with the new
battery.

What if the source of the time signal was an analog TV station that just
went to digital?

I'm back in the dark ages as far as recent technology advances go, but the
TV and VCR time signals were being transmitted from PBS stations at one
time.

Check to see if you can find out where the signal was supposed to be coming
from, maybe.
I've heard folks talking about automatically setting clocks that are
adjusted to a atomic standard clock, but I haven't investigated where the
signals come from for any types of self-correcting clocks.

This would be funny, and typical, that switching to digital TV has left a
couple of million clocks without a signal.

The other funny part of the hypothetical situation would be huge number of
existing TVs and VCRs that people can't figure out how to manually set the
clocks, again.. (deja vu all over again, and more Disco Sucks T-shirts).
Disco didn't suck as bad if Jennifer Jesse wanted to dance.

My SONY clock radio no longer takes the time from the air and instead
flashes 12:00 each time it goes on. I have change the Battery (which
was dead) and replaced it with a new CR3032, but this doesn't seem to
help. Is there a reset button? How can I fix this problem? I have
also moved it around the house to see if there is a place with better
reception to pick up the signal for the setting of the time, but this
doesn't seem to help either.

Thanks
