I know this will be a item of only specialized interest, but I note that:
It is important to know that while this new repair site now offers parts and instructions for repairing MacBooks for example, there is also a special activation/configuration requirement on M1 MacBooks now after certain kinds of repairs, like screens, webcams, boards, etc. Otherwise they will not work fully (disabled webcam, screen brightness/Trutone not working, etc). I don't know the specifics but it's some kind of calibration codes, secure component tying or something similar.
The thing is that this repair site will not assist you if you do not buy the part from the site. I asked them about it because I was thinking of repairing mine with this new site. So even if you take a genuine original Apple part from another computer (not even ordering some 3rd party part, but a real Apple component) and use it in your own repair, you may not be able to activate it.

That sucks.
