Is it possible to change ssd and other?

Hii

I have m1 pro 1tb which has serious liquid damage and the situation is unrepairable because of some layer of pcb burned. I am trying to find a solution to not dissipate my macbook pro m1 so I decided to buy m1 pro motherboard from ebay 512gb or 1tb I believe that is not a problem but my question is that if i buy ic locked m1 pro motherboard after resoldering my ssd to the ic locked board can give a life or Do i have to buy not ic locked board ? Summary of my question, is there any possibilities to bring ic locked motherboard using another not ic locked motherboard ? soldering every memory part can solve the problem ?

The M Series systems have soldered RAM and SSD storage so it’s not possible to upgrade or replace them. As far as the data on the SSD flash chips, the data is encrypted married to the systems SoC chip and TouchID unit. So transferring the chips won’t work either to gain access to the data.

While one can replace the logic board you must get the TouchID unit which is married to the given logic board and if locked to someone’s fingerprint you won’t be able to unlock it either.

This is brain surgery! It is not something a weekend fixer can do. And unless you can program the flash with the correct code it not really possible.
