Finding correct replacement screen for MacBook Air A1466

I'm looking to replace my daughters broken screen on her Mackook Air. It was purchased at BestBuy in 2020. Unfortunately, I cannot read anything on the screen to get the serial number. My receipt says it's: Apple - MacBook Air® - 13.3" Display - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 128GB Flash Storage - Silver. MQD32LL/A

On the back, it says its A1466 model, but when I look for a replacement screen online, all of them say it's for a 2017 model.

Can someone point me in the direction of finding the correct screen model to search?

FYI, the system serial number is etched into the bottom case of the laptop. You may need a bright light & magnifier to read it. You can enter the serial number on the Apple check coverage page here, but please don't post the serial number on the forum since it is considered personal information:

View Coverage - AppleCare & Warranty

The A1466 designation covers multiple models from 2012-2017. IIRC, at least the 2013-2017 models all used the same Display Assembly (not sure about the 2012 model).

Take it to Apple or an Apple Authorized service center for repair. You can also review the Self Service Repair Store at https://selfservicerepair.com/en-US/home/en-US/order but I don't think the intel Air is eligible. Apple does not otherwise sell OEM parts.

Apple isn't touching it since it's too old.

Ah. Yes that appears to be a 2017 model of MacBook Air
