Currently Im trying to get this A2338 13" 2022 MacBook Pro M2 to function properly, Right now the trackpad and keyboard are not working but the power button and keyboard backlight are working. the Touch Bar shows display but does not respond to touch. I bought it on eBay and it was described as having a bad lcd. When I received it however I found that it was also missing the wifi and bluetooth antenna along with most of the screws hardware. it was also showing picture on the LCD but no backlight, I could also see some lines on the screen indicating the lcd was also somewhat damaged. on top of that it would only stay on for a few minutes before rebooting itself. So using a donor m1 a2338 that is activation locked, I replaced the wifi antenna and hardware, then I bought an m2 a2338 shell the had everything (the battery, screen, keyboard) but the logic board. I put the logic board from the m2 in there and now the touchpad and keyboard and Touch Bar do not work and the screen only shows picture on boot up (still no backlight) I confirmed the screens and their backlight work by connecting them to the m1 that I have. Im kinda lost on what do do or where to go next. the laptop still works but it needs an external monitor/ keyboard/ mouse to function. Im currently using it to write this post. Should I move them back to the original body? Or is it going to need a system configuration from apple to ever work again? I used apples repair Manuel as a a general guideline for the replacement procedure as well as a few videos to minimize the risk of me breaking something. I just got the schematics for this device and the free board view software, but it's my first time using schematics so Im still learning how to read it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Anyone have any ideas where I could at least start? or is it even possible to get these features working again? any input would be much appreciated.
