Bharat, glad I could help. Is the crossword trying to tell us something - bonkers and then fathead? What's next - dumbo, moron, lunatic?...

Please help me in parsing / solving this cryptic clue -
"See Carol's crashed tablet - it can't be salvaged (6,6)"

Losing Battle, it can't be salvaged.

Sing, carol
Battle, anagram of 'tablet'.
