Retro Fitting A Mid 2015 Motherboard To a Mid 2012 Shell

I have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina, & Mid 2015 MacBook Pro Retina

I was wondering if I can retro fit the Mid 2012 MBP with the Mid 2015 MBP's Logic Board (both are A1398s). I wonder if it will fit and if the screws will align correctly before I even attempt it.

I’ve already swapped a Mid 2012 to another Mid 2012, without problem.

But, is there any difference between Mid 2012 to Mid 2015? I’m looking for short yes/no answers, but I’ll gladly accept an explanation as to why it can or can-not be done.

Simple answer No!

See for your self they are different boards, while very similar the headphone jack is setup differently as well as the one uses a Trackpad and the other a Touchpad:

Thanks, You saved me a huge disappointment from opening them both and trying it, possibly saved me money too.

YES, OK 2015 not work but 2014 or 2013 ???

I also have a MacbookPro Retina Mid 2012 for 1 year, I keep it closed because it has a problem with the dedicated video card and I can't do anything to it, after I try any boot mode, the screen with video artifacts appears.

The best you can do is slide in an Early 2013 board, but thats not much of an improvement! Review this: What are all the differences between the 15-Inch "Early 2013" Retina Display MacBook Pro models and the "Mid-2012" models replaced?
