Update: Now my original screen is having the same issue, after i swapped it back. (The original screen worked perfectly but the anti-reflective coating was peeling off, hence the swap) So I’m worried I possibly damaged something on the motherboard or display port when swapping? I was pretty careful so I’m not sure what could have caused this to happen…

I just replaced the entire display on my Macbook Pro (Mid 2014) 15” Retina. It was taken from a working machine, according to the seller. I followed the instructions to replace, and it “works” but the bottom of the screen has uneven backlighting. Also, the entire screen doesn’t seem as bright as the original even at full-brightness setting. What could be the cause of this? A bad cable perhaps? I am attempting to return the display I purchased, but wondering if there’s anything else I can do in the meantime to try and get it to work properly.
