Lid swap

[Jeffrey L. Taylor-9]

I have two T520s, one with a failed motherboard, but a high resolution
screen.  Can I just swap lids on the two?  How hard is that?

TIA,
  Jeffrey

It's fairly straightforward, but you'll want directions so you know what to take off when.

Are the downloadable manuals adequate?

Yes, normally, the downloadable maintenance manuals are definitely
adequate for that (they show step by step how to replace the various
parts).
I can't specifically vouch of the manual of your T520s but I've done
just what you describe (along with changing the CPU) between a T61 and
T60 and it went smoothly.
