New battery placement on Neo Geo MVS MV-1

[thomas3120]

Hello,

Attempting to fix an early MVS MV-1. Just got my UniBios & battery in the mail today.

 

When I took the old battery out (NM-Cd 3.6V) I forgot to write down or take a picture of how it went back in as there are 2 adjacent solder pads on the positive side.

Just wondering if anyone that has the MV-1 1 slot MVS could take a quick look at which solder pad hole the positive leg of the battery goes into.

 

The solder pad closest to the battery appears to go through the mainboard to the back or solder side but nowhere else (but not 100% sure).

The solder pad closer to the small 47uF cap (farthest away from battery) appears to be connected to the rest of the circuit.

 

 

 

 

Any help appreciated,

Look at the traces on the solder side. I bet there is a 99.9% that the two holes are connected.

It's just there to make using different battery sizes easier.
