I took the cover off and did nothing on the inside. Now when I put the cover on, the screen doesn’t start or anything. I can barely see something but it’s not enough. I have no idea how I damage it or anything. Please help. I don’t want to pay 400 just to change the screen. Update (10/02/2019)

If you see a dimmed out image it’s quite likely a backlight problem, hard it’s a screen issue if that’s the case, most probably a board fault. You mention “when I put the cover on“..does this mean the display brightens up normally without cover ?

Hello Tyler! First of all, I would recommend you to try to reset the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295 and NVRAM https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063. If it won’t help try to reconnect the internal battery. I almost sure you don’t have a multimeter, but for those who does here is the backlight fuse location
