"Spare parts" is generally not a thing for laptops, unfortunately. Basically everything is built onto the motherboard nowadays and even when it isn't it's not necessarily going to be compatible across different models. You can't necessarily even count on RAM being removable anymore. Mechanical hard drives are about the only part you can trust will be portable. SSDs aren't removable on most laptops.

About the only meaningful exception when it comes to parts is the display panel. Display panels of the same physical size and resolution can sometimes be interchanged.
