    Greetings.

    Some time ago my MSI GT70-0ND laptop died and after that event i buyed a new MSI laptop.

    After some time i decided to repair it in order to sell it. I asked MSI for assistence and they made me send it into they're repair center in Poland.

    After some time they told me that they are not able to repair it because they didn't had available the piece that needed to be fixed and they didn't know if and when it will be available.

    I asked for more information and they told me that the motherboard is faulty, they also gave me a part number ( 607-17621-05S ). I recently saw that on AliExpress there are some motherboards that i am deciding to buy in order to fix it.

    I saw that the MSI GT70 motherboards have Versions ( 0B, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1 ) so my question is what is the diffrence between this motherboard versions and witch one should i go for in order to try to fix the laptop.

    Thank you

    Find out the current version you have, then get the same version.
    But if you have 2.0 then you can use 2.1.
