Otherwise, there's a fuse on the motherboard - it's well disguised,
a square thingie about 3mm*3mm*5mm and IIRC it's about 3.15A.
Changing this is not trivial if you are unfamiliar with soldering
surface mount components, but if it is blown, you can solder a fuse
wire of the proper rating across it. I've done that in the past (on
the screen fuse) and I believe Matt has, also.

Ah the old Barnacle soldered fuse wire across the dead fuse body fix! Yeah... it worked fine for my L70 screen fuse... that I think was a 2 amper if I recall.

I got a 2 amp fuse at Radio Shack, the tubular ones with metal caps... with the iron, heated up the glue that held the caps on, and pulled the wire out... and then bent the wire into a 'L' shape, soldered it to both sides of the fuse, and clipped off the excess larger portion of the wire.

Voilą... a working LCD!

Matt
