*FAILED BACKLIGHT* - This has the failed backlight flex cable (Apple "Flexgate" issue). There is text on the screen visible under a flashlight, but it's not lit up. The screen color (gray) doesn't match body (silver) because it was an attempted repair from a donor laptop, but the donor screen was bad too.
It works fine with an external monitor. Other than that, it's fine except for a fairly minor ding in the back. No power brick.
Second image shows specs. Battery at around 69%.
Uses: you could use it as with an external monitor, or try to replace the display, or even try to replace the flex cable (possible, but involves degluing the LCD layers - there are videos on yourube). I'd suggest removing LCD and using with a TV as a cheap infotainment mac.
I'm selling a 2nd one as well, but with no display at all, and 256GB SSD.
