Hello everyone,
I'm having some horizontal lines issue on my screen. Right now, I'm using my laptop with an external monitor, the original screen is closed. I would like to remove the screen completely with all the wires etc. Will my laptop work properly then?
Is this a good question?

Sorry No!
The rub here is the lid assembly is also where the Bluetooth & WiFi antenna's are located.
Leave your lid on for now until you have the money to get it fixed. Review this IFIXIT guide: MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Late 2013 Display Assembly Replacement. Here's the IFIXIT part: MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Late 2013/Mid 2014) Display Assembly - Apple P/N: 661-8153. You might find a used assembly which would be cheaper.

Thank you Michael and Dan!
I'll look for an used lid then. This is so depressing, I paid 800 dollars for the laptop, the screen is almost half the money
For $10 on ebay you can get an usb wifi / bluetooth adapter and work around the missing top panel.

Yes it should still function without the display panel attached.
