Replaced A2338 LCD screen after it broke. is there any way to tell if the replacement is genuine or not?

The LCD screen of my laptop broke. So, I changed the screen from a service provider. After service I found the camera is as clear as before. The color is different. More greenish. I was told that I would get the genuine screen. Is there any way to tell if the screen is original or not?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.1

if your issue is with the camera take it back to the service provider

For some of the 2018+ models, that may happen because Apple uses a special configuration utility to link the MLB & Display information which include color information & HDR. This is one of the dangers of performing an unofficial repair since you don't have access to that special configuration utility. If you are using Apple's Self Repair Program to perform the repair yourself, then Apple should have provided instructions and access to the special configuration utility to complete the repair.


I don't know about the camera. Sounds like it has a bad camera.
