What is likely causing the vertical bar on this 2017 mbook pro screen?

I’m looking at the following macbook that someone has for sale locally:

The seller seems to have dropped their phone on the keyboard, which caused the screen issue. Just wondering if you guys have a good guess as to what would need to be repaired. I’m *hoping* there’s a good chance it’s just the cable, and not the entire logic board or screen assembly, but I figured I’d ask someone who may know.

Of course I understand you’d basically be just guessing!

Sorry your display got the worse of it. The area I circled is the hit point and the glass is shattered from that point.

Ouch, hope the seller didn’t get a double strike with just one shot.. I’d bet a fair amount it’s the screen..I can see the part that was hit, from which you have a kind of radial damage speading out, but may be it’s just my imagination. I’m sure someone else will join with their views ;)
