Can I swap my logic board into a 2018 A1990 housing and use its parts?

I know the screen is compatible, but how about all the other hardware? I only ask because i've found a faulty A1990 from 2018 and the housing is in better condition that mine, and I need a new screen either way. Don't want to go all the way through the process to find it's not compatible.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Swapping a logic board into a different housing might not work as smoothly as you hope. Logic boards and other components are designed to work specifically with the housing and components they were originally paired with. Compatibility issues could arise due to differences in connectors, sizes, and placements. It's generally recommended to use components within their intended configurations to ensure proper functionality.

Should I just take the screen of the other housing and only replace that then? As it's compatible being A1990

If the screen from the other A1990 housing is compatible and matches the specifications of your device, you might be able to replace just the screen. However, keep in mind that even though the housing is the same model, there can still be variations in screen connectors, display technologies, and other factors that could affect compatibility. It's important to research and ensure that the screen you're considering is a proper match for your device before attempting the replacement. If you're not confident in your ability to perform the replacement, it's advisable to seek professional assistance to avoid any potential damage.
