Acer Aspire 3 A315: Replacement Screen Needed - What type?

Sat, 14 Jun 2025 16:24:54 -0700

Hey all! My mate gave me an Acer Aspire 3 A315-41-R540 with a cracked screen. I have found many replacement screens on eBay, but they often only say Acer Aspire A315 screen, or A315-22. I am unsure whether these screens will actually fit my model, as i noticed several differences. I will try to post an image of the model, and the screen, and the ribbon cable soon!

Acer Aspire 3 A315: Some keys from my keyboard aren't working properly

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 06:58:10 -0700

The following keys have problems working: 'D'. The following numbers don't even work at all, most of the time I just hold them long enough and they SORT OF work for the time my device remains turned on, once it's off, the issue doens't change much regardless of how long I hold the keys: SIX, EIGHT, NINE. Also F1 and F2 don't work at any instance, they literally do nothing, on top of that, some numbers have become useless like ONE from the right side of the laptop, I forgot the name of this set of keys, but I just use the NumLock key to actually use the numbers that don't work, like 1, 6, 8 and 9. Never had this sort of issue before, not sure why it's even happening since it's a very specific set of keys and such, help would be much apreciated.

Acer Aspire 3 A315: Acer Aspire 3 15 wont turn on, all lights off

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 10:29:20 -0700

Hi,

My Acer is not turning on at all. I tried leaving it charging for a while but nothing. I tried the reset battery button and holding the power button and it didn't work.

The little light indicator next to the battery is not turning on. I tried using the usb-c port with a charger that is confirmed to be working and nothing.

Last time I used it I turned it off normally and put it away.

Is there anything I can do?

Acer Aspire 3 A315: Doest start completly and in few sec it restart repeatedly

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 21:12:34 -0700

It does't start completly but you can hear the fan and HD works only in a few sec , then it sart again same before no boot or display on screen... btw the screen is already broken but i used tv as external monitor (i mention it so you don't need to suggest that the monitor is the problem ) and it works without hustle.. The problem only occur after i clean up the fan. I remove the fan carefully and put it back just like i normaly do every time i clean it up.

Acer Aspire 3 A315: Why my laptop is not turning on and not charging?

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 10:42:51 -0700

My laptop was on and charging then suddenly it stops charging and after a minute it switches off and smoke comes out of the USB ports, then it never switches on again. I unplugged the charger immediately and it was too late as I also came to realize that my charger is bend. I tried to open it so that I can inspect it myself, but it does not show any signs of burns from the inside and I tried smelling it so that I'd find out where the smoke was coming from then I found out that it is from the line of the charging port and the USB ports only. I am looking for a fast response with help. THANK YOU

RAM - 16gb (upgrading to 32)

Storage - 1tb M.2

CPU & Graphics - Ryzen 7 5700U w/Radeon graphics
