    Which instructions did you follow?

    Was it the apple ones? - https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201065

    Or something else?

    So on power up you see the language select screen. That is the onboard screen for MacOS. So I think this is back to factory setting.

    No idea, sorry. Perhaps bad reflection? Does it appear in other lighting conditions?
    I agree with you it seems like a problem, I don't think it should be there, should be just black screen with logo.
