PredatorG9-Can I use a different rev. of mainboard for my laptop? Rev. is 2.1 and mine is rev. 2.0.

Setare · March 12

My laptop is Acer predator g9

My main board (MU5DC/CH7DC rev 2.0) didn't work properly anymore, and I must change it with another board.

I have found the same mainboard, but its revision is 2.1 and mine is rev. 2.0.

This difference can make problem and what should I do?

The MU5DC/CH7DC rev 2.0 board is a board from the Predator G9-593 laptop (btw, you should write down which G9 model you have in your post, not just G9) the Predator G9-593 board is the same size and shape board as the G9-793 laptop uses, both of these boards will fit into the cases of each laptop.

Buy the higher spec G9-793 as its got a 7th Gen cpu and better NVidia 1070 8GB gpu. See these boards for a G9-793 board which is the same board that is an i7 7700/GTX1070 8GB that will be a much better spec board than what you have with the MU5DC/CH7DC rev 2.0 board, also the MU5DC/CH7DC rev 2.1 is the same exact board.

Predator G9-793 range of boards from its Acer service guide.
