    I got a pic of strange card. I am not sure what kind of mxm of this card. Compare with regular mxm 2.1 (like hd 3470) this one is narrower. Another difference are positions of holes, also difference from regular mxm 2.1.
    Anyone knows this card? Is it can be use in acer's laptop?
    Thx!

    Looks a bit like a 3870.

    In fact I think it's identical to an mxm 2.1 type III 3870.

    What's written on the core?

    The 3470 is mxm 2.1 type II and this card is mxm 2.1 type III:

    yes this one is mxm type III. Longer and different hole positions from 3470. It may too long for 5530g...

    I have a dead 3870, 216-0709003 is written on my core also.

    So I believe that's what it is.

    And it is certainly too long for the Aspire 5530G, which can only take up to an MXM-II card.
    Nice work, moral!
