What replacement keyboard to buy for my notebook?

[jrsousa2]

I've had this computer for 5 years, I am negatively surprised that the keyboard started failing so soon. First backspace, then delete and +,= keys started to fail as well. I reassigned backspace to prt scr and F12 keys, not sure if that is what's causing other keys to fail.

But anyway, I decided to replace the keyboard myself and need help to choose the right replacement part.

Please let me know how to choose a new keyboard, please let me know how to search for it so it's compatible without a shadow of a doubt. I plan to replace it myself, since repair shops take too long to do it.

On a side note, here's my frustration with HP. When I opened the computer to install a new SSD (HD), I found that the person who assembled this computer snagged one of the screws (I have pictures to prove it!!!! I am deeply mad at this, I will not be able to replace the keyboard without breaking this screw or the piece that it's attached to). I can send pics if you want prove.

But, my most important question is the keyboard specs that I need to buy to replace this. I thought I could live with it, but at times it drives me crazy. This keyboard always sucked to be honest, the space bar often times doesn't register if I don't hit it hard, from the beginning.

PS Any chance i can get a compensation for the defective/snagged screw that secures the CD ROM drive?
