We always use the original items whenever possible, too many times have unforseen things come up when trying to 'fit' something else into the orignals spot. That being said, you'd have to research the differences if any and see if it's even compatible. There's a reason the 35e is more expensive than the 32e, I'd start by figuring out what the difference was, maybe the video chip? I looked it up, here's the specs links.

The chipset is different, the gfx chip is different, other than the cpu speed is different, but same socket. At minimum you will probably have some driver and possibly windows booting issues if you just 'change' the board. In short I wouldn't do it.

I wouldn't recommend it either. Technically, the Windows license would be invalid too due to a different motherboard being used.

Your best bet is to order the part using the model from the motherboard. If the customer doesn't want to pay to get it repaired, then offer them a setup service on a new computer, or sell them a used desktop/laptop if you have one.
