Chosen Solution
Yesterday I replaced the keyboard and its backlight on my M1 MBP, rivets and everything. No, it wasn’t because of any water damage. It went well, except for the fact that True Tone is gone and my MacBook thinks it doesn’t have a camera. For context, here are the final steps I took in the reassembly: With everything but the screen installed, I plugged the MacBook into my external monitor and turned it on to test it.It worked, so I unplugged it but neglected to turn off the machine (rookie mistake)After installing the screen and closing it up, it was initially blank even though I knew the machine was on. The display worked after a forced restart. Here’s what I’m dealing with: True Tone is gone from the Control Center and Displays Preferences
The system doesn’t detect an internal camera
There is now a second ‘Color LCD’ ColorSync profile
Oh, and here’s a screenshot from Sensei, which shows some info about the connected display.
I know that the M1 has the capability to lock certain features if it detects a third-party component (WHY?), but I used the original screen from the laptop. Any ideas?
I can’t explain why replacing the keyboard would have effected your display. I’ve replaced keyboards in the Intel models, I haven’t tried doing a M1 series yet. You may have reached too far here, I’m assuming you wanted a different keyboard layout from what you bought. But where did you find the keyboard? So far I haven’t seen any parts on the market yet for the M1 series systems. Even still only the uppercase has been offered when a keyboard is needed for the 2016 onward systems as its just too hard to replace the keyboard alone.
