Hi I have a problem with my Acer laptop and I went to a local computer repair center and they checked the computer and told me there is a problem with the graphics card and I need to change the motherboard to fix the problem.

1-My first question is whether it is necessary to change the motherboard in order to fix the graphics card problem

2-Second question: Where can I buy the motherboard for my computer? I searched in the country where I live, Morocco, and did not find the same type of motherboard Swift 3 SF314-41-R5ER.

I found this one : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005938635284.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2fra


But I don't know if it is the same type that I need for my laptop Swift 3 SF314-41-R5ER

3-Third question: Can I send you the laptop to Acer Company for repair? If possible, how much will it cost me?

I hope to receive a response to my question Thank you.

    The SG314-41/41G mainboards are available online, or just look at your laptop's mainboard Acer part number, as its written on your oem mainboard and it will match one of the boards from the list below.

    If your mainboard has a faulty gpu then you can't fix a faulty gpu or change a gpu or cpu, as Intel dosent sell laptops cpu's or NVidia doesn't sell laptop gpu's as parts, so that is the answer to the first question and even if you can find a replacement old mainboard with a good cpu or gpu, you need specialist tools to fit a new cpu or a gpu to a laptop and it costs allot in labor, so that is the problem with changing these major parts in a laptop and none does it.

    The second question, your Swift SF314-41mainboard is available from specialist Acer parts retailers like ZANDPARTS that is in Europe that ships to Marrocco, so look them up and search the mainboard that your Swift 3 SF314-41-R5ER Acer part number has, as you will find that its one of the mainboards below as any of the mainboards below will fit into your laptops case anyway so you can fit whatever mainboard you can from the list below. Also search the web with the Acer part numbers on the right from the SF314-41/41G Acer SG below. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

    what the difference between motherboard GPU and UAM

    What do i choose? UAM R5-3500U 4G 4G or GPU R5-3500U 4G 4G

    My laptop : AMD Ryzen 5 (3500U, 2,10 GHz, 4 Mo) - AMD Radeon™ Vega 8 - 8 Go DDR4 SDRAM

    The UMA (Uniform memory access) mainboards are for the SF314-41 only and are a lower spec board to the other mainboards SF314-41G that have a dedicated gpu for your laptop. By the specs and model number of your laptop SF314-41 with the R5-3500U cpu the oem mainboard for your SF314-41 laptop is the MB SF314-41_UMA (R53500U)(OB4GBIV) Acer part #: NB.HEY11.003. If you want to upgrade to a better spec mainboard (which will also fit into your laptops case) then buy the SF314-41G - MB SF314-41G_R19M-M18-70 (R73700U)(OB4GB) as this mainboard has a Ryzen 7 3700U cpu with an AMD dedicated gpu. Good luck

    There is no access to these service guides on the web, only Ace ranked Acer community members have direct service guide access and that is how we get our information for all Acer products. So the information we give you is accurate. Good luck.
