I recently got a Lenovo 300w gen 3 with a malfunctioning keyboard and touchpad. I could not find any affordable housing replacements for a 300w, but I found a really good deal on a palmrest, keyboard and touchpad chassis assembly for its Chromebook sister model, the 300e gen 3.

Would it be possible to put the 300w into the 300e chassis and connect the display assembly/hinge with it, and for it to work? The IO matches up as well
