Acer Aspire VN7-791G motherboard replacement

Filipe10MC

Good afternoon,

I have the laptop Acer Acer Aspire VN7-791G-XXXX. It happens that motherboard burned out, and I really don't know what to do. I have a first question, which is about the last 4 digits of the laptop model, does it matter for choosing a new motherboard?

I already opened the laptop to check the motherboard model, which is the following: 448.02G08.001M

After some researching I found out that there's some motherboards with the same model being sold at online websites. But I have afraid of buying one that will not be compatible with the laptop.

Also, the laptop had 4 GB of graphic's card, but the motherboards at the websites have 2 GB with same graphic card (GTX 860M). The CPU is the same (I7-4720HQ).

Please, I really need some advice in order to fix my laptop.

Two i7 models are available for about the same $210 price from different Aliexpress vendors. Part nos. NB.MQL11.002 & NB.MQL11.005. Either should fit and work fine inside your case. They are virtually identical. There may be other Aliexpress vendors who may offer even better prices. Aliexpress is a fairly reliable concessionaire like Amazon. I've used them often with good results.
