I do not have all of the answers but the TBolt gps weeks rolled over
recently that is why the date is 1997 1024 weeks ago. LH is smart enough to
correct for the rollover and display correctly as many have mentioned on
time nuts.
But the TBolt will not ever on its own be correct.
For frequency and 1 pps not an issue. For NTP unfortunate.
By the way my TBolt fired up and tracked satellites without any trouble at
all.
Wrong date but other then that just fine.

Hello Netizens,

After the power outage, my TB start to shows some strange behavior.

As I start LH, the screen shows like this (You could see the date stamp as
Dec 1997_

Then, few seconds after, the date will be corrected

And after another few seconds, I have a almost dark screen like this

I tried to use ThunderBolt Monitor software to reset my TB to factory
settings. It didn't helps. This monitor always shows me correct time, but
date back from 1997. And its always no sats.

What else could be done to resurrect the device ? Thanks !
