Backlight fuse for Asus laptop

I've got my laptop's screen cracked and so I tried to replace it. In the process I blew up th backlight fuse, I can see it charred. I wonder if it is possible to find a replacememnt and solder it in. I tried to search but I have no idea what fuse I am looking for and I can find any source of info. Any help

 

There is no fuse...how did you come to that illogical conclusion? You have a backlight and inverter and since you cracked your screen go buy a replacement screen and fix it. What your doing is more risk of breaking more glass and glass are dangerous when broken into small pieces. Just replace the LCD with a new unit or used unit that work.

 

I've got a LED screen. I have replaced the cracked with a new one. When I first tried the new screen it worked fine but after I actually installed it on the laptop the backlight was gone. I can see the the screen works but it is just not lit. I think (I still might be wrong) that I blew the fuse (there is such a think as backlight fuse). I can see it all charred on the motherboard. I was thinking to soldering it out and replace with a new one but I cannot find what fuse I need and where to buy it. Now I am thinking to bring the laptop to PC World repair shop and ask them to take a look as they are an official service centre for ASUS in the UK.

 

Now if that was true a backlight fuse...mind show a picture of where it is? AFAIK there is only a backlight in the case of LCD with inverter and LED with inverter...nothing I seen so far mentions there is a fuse. What I am curious to know is what Asus model are you asking about cause if that was true I would've heard on here of other users talking about a fuse but I don't recall hearing about it?

 

The model is U36JC. The picture is not very good and the alleged fuse is that black thingy in the middle of the circle.

 

Ok now I have a better picture of the problem. I would think this would call for a laptop shop to see if they can fix it otherwise that looks more like a a resistor component that has failed. Where did you get the information that it was fuse? Anytime something on your board fails or resistor goes bad unless you have a SM hardware repair system you will have to get a new board even if you say it still works. The cost to get a replacement board used/new would probably save you more in the long run then trying to fix that burnt out hardware. Also if you don't realize when your board has that kinda damage something else along that line most likely took a hit and will never function same again even if you try to get that burnt part fixed. So my advise toss that board and get another matching replacement and don't look back. Again I will iterate that isn't a fuse - looks more like a SM transistor was fried.

 

An LCD with inverter board will likely cost less than $100. Cost/risk to repair will be much more than that. Unless you can actually determine the exact component part number that fried, you don't have a chance at all of it working, even if you did solder it chances of it working are pretty slim. IC boards for the most part are disposable. One resistor, capacitor, transistor fails, it's near impossible to fix. Other than swapping out a USB port, audio port, etc (I've done those) anything on the board usually means death to the board.

 

Going to bring it to PC World repair centre to see what they say. If the cost is too high I will give up.

 

I'd be surprised if they'd even offer to fix it. I did have a cap come off a brand new video card once (pulled the card out of my desktop too aggressively and hit the edge of my case and popped it off ), and thankfully there is a TV repair shop down the road from me and they were able to solder it back on for me and did it free of charge. But the cap was reasonably sized and it was simply resoldering the cap to the board, and thankfully it worked.
