    Lenovo x220 Backlight Not Turning on

    Hi all,

    I have a Lenovo x220. At one point in time, the backlight worked, but the lcd had a vertical line through the screen. Upon reseating the connector from the motherboard to the ribbon cable, the backlight ceased to work. I figured that it was simply poor timing that the backlight went out and I ordered a replacement panel off ebay. Unfortunately, the panel arrived and exhibited similar symptoms of the backlight not turning on.

    I have tested fuses on the mothboard around the connector and fuses on the panel's board and was unable to discover any shorts.

    My next step is to test the ribbon cable for loose connections and also the voltages at the test points on the panel, but I am open to any other suggestions. Thanks

      I give you advice, NEVER manipulate the fexible cable of the screen on your computer with voltajes. Always disconnect battery or power adapter 3 minutes before, Search the fuse. there is OPEN . Are very very little

          Lenovo V15 G3 No Backlight after liquid damage
          by techpointhull
          Good morning guys,

          I have a Lenovo V15 G3 that came in with liquid damage. The damage was very minor and some corrosion on the IO board where the power switch was. After cleaning both the motherboard and IO board in alcohol, the laptop turned on and I had backlight for about 3 seconds but nothing further. I don't have a boardview for this laptop (Have requested this in the Schematic Request section), however from previous experience on Lenovo laptops I have checked pins 1, 2, 3 on the EDP connector. When the battery is connected only, I get 8V and when AC adapter is connected, I get...

          by XIII
          Hi, I have this Lenovo V510z AIO with the mobo CSA20 LA-D953P with no backlight at all, I've tried checking on different websites for schematics or anything leading to the location of the backlight circuit with no luck, there's nothing that seems to be burned out nor shorted is there any way to troubleshoot this issue? thank you in advance...

          Lenovo V14-ADA - No Backlight
          by RetroComputingGrotto
          I've got a Lenovo V14-ADA laptop with no backlight. I have changed the whole screen assembly from a known working one in our Spares and Repairs tub but to no avail as there is still no backlight on the screen.

          Using a DMM I have tried to find the 20V power rail (it's a Lenovo so they tend to use 20V rather than the more normal 19V) on the screen connector but on pins 1 & 2 I'm getting 0V.



          I have tested the continuity of the fuse (F2) and it is open circuit.


          Is there anything I should be testing a this point or is it just...

          Which fuse is responsible for backlight on Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 3
          by Attila Jamilov
          I upgraded display from HD to UHD recently, and I think I did everything right, battery was disabled in BIOS, and removed, yet the screen has no backlight. Both the old and new display behave the same way. I checked the motherboard and I see the fv1 fuse, and a fv2 spot for a fuse, but it's missing. Does anyone have any information on whether fv2 is responsible for backlight, or why it's missing? There's a schematic posted somewhere on this forum, but I can't view it as I don't have the hardware right now, since the laptop screen is broken and I run Linux.

          Also from further search...

          by mferna14
          Dear precious friends., I am working on a Lenovo Flex 5 15IIL05 (Motherboard LC55-15C 19792-1 448.0K105.0011). The problem with it, does not turn on at all. I see the battery charging LED but no response from the power button. Output coils 3.3V & 5v are perfect. LDO 3V is also present, I measured this on the power button. The on/off button is working perfectly. I re-programmed with new bin files & the status is still the same. I do not see any abnormal voltage & any Shorts or any kind of liquid spill. The MB is clean. I am using this schematics Lenovo Flex 5-14IIL05 19792-1, seems...
