Which Flexgate cable to replace

Which cable should I replace in my MacBook 2017 15" A1707? I'm experiencing an issue where the contrast distorts (increases gamma) when the laptop is open, but it reacts normally at a particular angle. I've seen various cables online, each for display, backlight, etc. I live in Pakistan and will need to order parts from another country. Any guidance on which specific cable to replace and recommendations for a reliable source for international shipping? Thanks

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.6

Hi,

It's not expensive, so try to get everything, LCD and backlight cable at Amazon and replace them if they work.

if this were only a matter of ordinary quick-connectors on those cables, this would not be an issue.

Be sure you understand that those cables have a high density surface-mount solder connectors at the display end.
