[Q] Can you use the screen off one captivate as a replacement for another?

This might sound like a dumb question, but I was considering finding a bricked captivate on craigslist just for the screen if I can get it for less than just the screen from somewhere else. I know that part of the screen is glued on and I assume that buying a new screen comes with fresh glue on it, so would it still work if I used the screen from another phone? I already have a new different phone, I just want to get my pictures off my old one and I unfortunately did not have USB debugging enabled when it broke because I can't connect it to my computer. Either that or something else is messed up too.

Thanks for any help!

you might want to invest in some 2mm adhesive strips. If you don't heat the glass enough you will need new sticky

edit: not all replacement screens come with new sticky, in fact most do not.
