Can I use a different coloured screen but same model?

I’ve got a faulty MacBook Air as listed the device. Its screen is non-functional as it is severely damaged. The MacBook boots to the Apple Logo ( I test and found this out by plugging a display cable into an adapter to the Mac), it then just sits there and the fans spin and cpu gets really hot. I’ve tried dfu restore and revive and nothing seems to work. I can target disk mode and sometimes alt choose disk but nothing seems to load. It was fine before this happened and I had taken the screen off. I am leaning towards the screen not being attached being the issue.

I have found a screen on ebay for A2179but for a different color, the seller reports
"Dropped onto corner, case bent and cracked LCD screen. General wear and tear around edged, no major scratches"

Could I buy this screen to test my theory? it is relatively cheap so I'm not sure what I am walking into. I am willing to throw the money at this.
