Logic board swap? MacBook Pro 16" A2485

Hi, is it possible to swap an M1 Pro logic board into another identical model without issue?

I have a 16" Macbook Pro 2021 (A2485) that has a cracked screen but I am able to buy a complete identical model laptop 'skeleton' (minus its original logic board) for less than the price of the repair at Apple.

If I transfer the logic board and Touch ID from my 'working laptop' with the cracked display, into the donor laptop shell, will everything work as normal or will I come up against a few issues?

Thanks!

Well sadly no😩

First the logic board is marred to the TouchID in the power button so it needs to be moved over with its logic board. The display is also tied to the logic board as well so you can’t swap it over.
