I did actually, but it was 50 years ago and I don't remember any UT...

caput is latin for head, cracker, kaput is not working, and the //according to reports// element in the clue, meaning "sounds like" takes you from kaput to caput

MarkRae

The Latin word for "head" is "caput" which sounds like ("according to reports") kaput, which means "not working".
