[mythtv-free]

thanks for all these answer. I don't remember the type of this mother 
board, it is the reason why I wanted to switch it on without battery.
It is not solded. I put the old one in my pocket to have the exact model 
when buying a new one, but I lost it  before reaching the shop .....
It is a 3V model
