Hi @chandytech ,
It may be possible if you can find the pinout for the connections on the display.
If the display module has a part number on the back or a manufacturer’s ID etc, try searching online using that information to see if there is any information about the display e.g. a datasheet .
Hopefully it may contain information regarding what signal, power etc wires belong on what terminals. Without that it will only be guesswork and you could end up damaging the display and the RPi
