Why do you think the fuse is the issue? There are many other components related to this.
Not to mention that if the fuse is gone, that usually indicates another more serious issue and bridging a fuse will make it worse.
Most likely it's the screen itself.
I may be totally wrong of course, but the reason I thought it was a fuse is because it seems a pretty common issue WITH ThinkPads that people forget to disconnect the internal battery before disconnecting the panel, which results in a blown backlight fuse. And this light by bridging the blown fuse.
I've had another machine like that, where the image on the display was visible using a flash light. The same is the case here (with a broken screen on top): I see pixel lines changing on the panel when applying a flashlight.
That's so rare in my experience. I never saw it so far. Most of the time it's burnt backlight LEDs or something like that. On older CCFL devices I get burnt inverter board (CCFL boards do have a fuse normally).
I would check the voltage coming to LEDs to see if it's even need to bother with the fuse or you need to replace screen/LEDs.
