Big ouch!

Sounds like the bendgate issue has come to claim yet another victim.

Unfortunately apple doesn't do warranty claims for these laptops anymore as they are past the 4 year period so your best options are:

A) Go to apple and beg until they deny you after a million tries OR

B) Get an ifixit kit, a new display and some patience as it could be quite some work in replacing a screen

For context on the price, I'm in Australia atm and i will be using eBay for my prices:

Screen alone: $399 AUD ($240 was the cheapest)

An entire laptop with a good screen (But faulty logic board): $300, And no that's not a rick roll)

Hope u can fix it otherwise u can get a USB-C monitor, detach the screen and use it as a full on keyboard attachment and have no screen obstruction. I know my friend does this as his has a backlight issue (It's the same model).

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

From Sunday Aus to Friday AUS, i will be unavailable as i am camping then.
