Retina Display differences between models
MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Late 2013
My 2013 15" Retina display is broken (seems to be from gripping it too tight or something). I ordered a replacement screen assembly but it was from a 2012 and the camera cable is not compatible with the late 2013. I am having trouble finding a late 2013 assembly at a reasonable price and/or from a faraway place (think China.)
I am getting conflicting advice on whether the only difference in the 2012/late 2013 display assembly is the camera cable or if the display panel is also different.
Recommend a good place to do the surgery (closer to Atlanta the better) would help too-(I know about Mission and IResq)
Thanks.

Thanks. Not comfortable giving out serial on a public forum but it is a late 2013 retina 15" with Iris pro 5200 Graphics chip. I'm Apple Certified Tech (ACMT). Ordered a rebuilt screen assembly on Ebay- apparently ultimately sourced from China bulk purchase. The 2012-early 2013 displays are seemingly identical with the exception of the camera cable having a different pin configuration. If I thought the only difference is the cable I would consider sourcing and replacing the glass myself. If it's a different display also, likely send it to Mission a Repair or elsewhere that has the necessary expertise.
Open to other ideas to move the process along.

Please give us your serial number so we know your exact machine. Located on the back in very fine print. I'm a Mac surgeon. With priority mail I'm pretty close.

Where did the replacement display come from? Any numbers on it or the receipt?

I haven't separated the display from the clamshell so I do not have the part number.

How much did the correct replacement display cost? I have my reasons for asking. Has it been dropped or received liquid damage?
