A2338 M1 Macbook Pro 13" - Internal display not working but outputs to External display (DFU restore/revive Failed)

At least one screen should be good.
I suppose/hope you didn't touch video connector with each screen connected.

The big problem is that usually CPU is the one affected in this case.
You are not the first one with this problem.

No no, I had not touched the connector. The only thing, still the worst, is the cable disconnecting during parts pairing. Well what I can do is just try again with the new screen and report back to you. If the CPU is done for there is no point in me trying to replace it. I am not that well versed in reballing. Its not cost effective either. I am just very frustrated with myself. I had worked on computers from other manufacturers I havent had my luck run out on me. Still a bad habit to have but I atleast have learnt from this.

Eitherway - I must really thank you. Are there any other components worth replacing? Or at-least to try? I can’t even do a DFU revive/restore it likely is bricked.

If no important data, try DFU restore few times.
Sometime need to try several times, until completes successfully.
Connect the battery and trackpad.

Thank you. Will do. I also have ordered an M2 A2338 16/256 logic board with Touch ID unlocked/no ic as it was significantly cheaper (about 250$) from a reputable seller on eBay. I wouldn’t have done this if I didn’t need a laptop for personal use and having already invested in parts for an A2328.
I also ordered an a2338 M2 Trackpad so it will be compatible with new board. With these parts will I be able to assemble one A2338 M2? The keyboard/Touchbar/topcase with battery are from the one I’m currently using. Am I right to assume this would work?
I will put together an M1 laptop and work on it separately.
