Sorry SIR, what is The crystal is broke.i do't understand.A small component that holds a piece of materiel that controls the clock time.
Often made from a slice of natural quartz, but ALSO can by made. artificially.

When damaged, does not show noticeable  signs. Test with a frequency meter. Should be 32,758 cps.Thanks you.....Most articles on the subject of RTC failure focus on the CMOS battery. But fracture of the crystal is also common. On some motherboards it is on e sealed component. Others have the RTC (real time clock) and crystal separate.
I don't  think  you need to replace the motherboard.
This link may be of some help.
He did  replace the battery and the time was still bad.

If you read the whole thing, nobody ever tells them a crystal can fail unexpectedly or another associated component can fail. Either WAY, the time base goes way off while the PC is powered down.
(I played will quartz oscillators when I was a TEEN. Had a collection of army surplus crystal dated  from WW 2. Broke a couple of them.)
