Sure as long as the screen aspect ratio (4:3) is the same it's no issue. You could even use a systemboard from a 4:3 15" T60.

As long as the screen aspect ratio (4:3) is the same it's no issue. For example, if yours is a 15.4" widescreen, and his is a 14" normal aspect ratio 4:3 screen, it will not work.

Just download the HMM and carefully follow the steps, being careful to keep up with where all the screws go, and you shouldn't have any trouble.

You need to change the fan, also. The fan unit for discrete graphics units have a thermal contact point for the GPU.
