If you want to do this in terms of a "swap and run", I don't think it is possible, unless you want to tie the parts to another HP laptop in which case the connections may be compatible.

Wiring schematics would probably be almost impossible to get. You might try searching through HP's tech support to see if they offer anything, possibly if you know a technician who services laptops he/she might be able to photocopy portions of an HP service manual for you. Of course that is IF the service manual has wiring diagrams -- it may only have instructions for the technician to test certain pins and look for results, then replace the entire part sub-assembly if defect can be verified.

A better question might be, What are you trying to accomplish by doing this?
