Possibly. The A515-51 uses the LA-B921P (similar but not identical). While some power rails may match, the pinouts for the EC and connectors differ. Do not assume compatibility.

Refer to the "Voltage Rails" table (usually on page 2 or 3 of the PDF) for expected values. If you(Blinking LEDs, totally dead, or fans spinning?) Have you measured the ? Is there any visible liquid damage or burnt components?
