Lenovo nm-d471 fv1 fuse blown

[NConstantinou]

I found that fv1 on one side i have 19v and on the other side 0v.
The fuse is 3a 32v FOR BACKLIGHT.
I do not have such a tiny fuse.
Can i replace it with a wire and what size.

I know i am overpassing fuse but i don't have any other solution.

Thanks

Putting a jumper for fuse is not recommended but will work if there is no other problem. Newer lenovo boards fuse are very tiny-You can go for a smilar rating fuse although in bigger size and solder one pad of the new fuse to pcb one side and connect a jumper wire from other pad to fuse. That way you will still have the protection of fuse.
