How to handle mismatched S/N on bottom vs MLB?
I got this one super cheap, even knowing it will need a screen with every intention to replace it once I can get a screen or even a junker with an EFI lock for nothing but with an intact LCD. However, I noticed my bottom serial number does not match the MLB S/N and upper case - it’s had a board replacement (2.2 i7/16GB/Iris Pro 1536) but I cannot pull that S/N up on the Apple website, or Everymac.
When I do fix the screen, how do I go about getting the battery done? Of course I will not admit I replaced the screen, but it indeed feels like a 2015 (trackpad doesn’t click when turned off).

Does the system boot up so you can get to the About this Mac? Thats the systems S/N not the logic board S/N which is different!
If you can't get it running right now what is the logic board board number 820-xxxx Then we can figure out the series.

@danj Cracked screen and no SSD, so I cannot confirm in About This Mac as I do not have a MacOS installation on an external drive :(. So the uppercase and bottom S/N may indeed be the correct? My "public" S/N ends in G8WN. Shows as a Mid '15 there at least. At least they left me the SSD screw.
I hope if I mixed it up it's not just me. I only took it apart to check for dust and to reinsert the screws correctly to remove the evidence just in case I need to take it in.
MLB# is 820-00138-A. Not sure if this helps, but the part on the IO board is 820-5482-A.

@nick - thats the I/O board number not your logic board. I'm nit sure I follow what you mean by public you mean the bottom covers S/N comes up as a 2015 model? Then thats what you have.

@danj Yes, by public I mean the one in the bottom cover and uppercase.
I added the MLB# S/N. 820-00138-A

@nick - Sorry missed it this validates what you have Mid 2015 15" MacBook Pro Retina DG A1398 based on the logic board number.
