Can I install a 2017 logic board into the 2015 model?

I'm about to buy a macbook 2015 retina model from eBay with a broken logic board. I'm doing this as a self renovation project. The idea being that I want to have another great computer in the house for my wife or kids to use.

The logic board is described as broken. That's fine as the rest of the computer looks to be in working order with no scratches or dents etc. I intend to then buy a 2017 logic board and replace the broken one.

My theory is that there is no reason this shouldn't work. As the newer 12 inch macbooks have the entire computer on the logic board by design, once taken out, the rest of the device is simply a fancy shell. So, assuming there isn't some strange firmware reason that the display won't work with the newer logic boards, then it should be possible to swap out an old / broken 2015 logic board for the better 2017 ones?

Does anyone have any experience with this, or know any reason it won't work?

Just curious, were you successful?

I never bought the computer, so I don't know whether it is possible.

Apple often alters things often enough that you can't do swap outs like you are hoping to do here. I doubt any one has tried with the newer MacBook's

I'm not sure if the cost of a logic board is worth the try given the unknown history of the system. If it was liquid damaged other things could need replacing.

If you do manage to get it going let us know! Good Luck!
