AN515-53 Replacement Keys

Hey everyone,

The clips under the keycaps for the AN515-53 are a little weak. My son broke his W and Left Alt keys off his keyboard from some really mild Minecraft gaming. :P I have been trying to find a replacement keyboard so I could just pop the caps off and replace those without breaking open the case and dealing with that set of issues. The keyboard I ordered was not the OEM; the clips under the keycap didn't match with the risers. I'll handle that.

My questions are:
1) Is there a way to order Acer OEM parts from a reputable source?
2) What's the actual model number of the keyboard used in the AN515-53? The keyboard that I received had a sticker on the keyboard that reads "SX150702A-W" and another sticker on the ribbon that reads, "SX152702AS-US A01" with the words "Believesx" and the manufacture date I presume.

If anyone knows of a good temporary fix to keep these things held on I'd like to know it. In the meantime I guess I'll return this keyboard and get a refund because the keys do not fit.

There are many references and regions from Acer for your AN515-53 "Upper Case Assemblies" and for different countries, even for English there is US, UK and Canada etc which houses the keyboard, also you can easily get them from either eBay, Amazon or AliExpress but, are they the right ones for you? This is one of those keyboards for your A515-53 "Laptop Keyboard for ACER For Aspire A515-53 A515-53G A515-53K A515-53KG Black US United States Edition" this is US $46.55.

In saying all this, these are a few that could be relevant if you are in the USA or the last one is for the UK region. The reference numbers that you have listed do not refer to anything that is on the Acer service manual "FRU List" (btw there are at least 75 different regions and countries) of parts for your exact AN515-53 model, these are the sort of descriptions and reference number for the upper case assemblies that Acer lists:
