I got this one super cheap, even knowing it will need a screen with every intention to replace it once I can get a screen or even a junker with an EFI lock for nothing but with an intact LCD. However, I noticed my bottom serial number does not match the MLB S/N and upper case - it’s had a board replacement (2.2 i7/16GB/Iris Pro 1536) but I cannot pull that S/N up on the Apple website, or Everymac. When I do fix the screen, how do I go about getting the battery done? Of course I will not admit I replaced the screen, but it indeed feels like a 2015 (trackpad doesn’t click when turned off).
