How Should I go about repairing this?
I bought this MacBook (MacBook Pro, a2442) like this for $500 Australian bucks on marketplace, because the screen is broken. The previous owner already removed the plastic bezel because he thought it was one of the cables behind it. I personally think it's the screen hinge cables, and a piece of dust got behind it and damaged it. But there are 3 ways to repair this: Replace the entire screen assembly, replace just the lcd, or somehow get someone to do a flexgate-style repair on the cables IF that is the problem.
It's got a black strip on the let middle of the screen. Sometimes if I bend the screen in the right way, it becomes translucent, and I can see what's supposed to be there.
So based on anyone's experience or thoughts, how should I got about this?
