Re: lenovo t430 no backlight

Thanks for getting back to me. Replaced cracked screen, new screen has correct images (viewed with bright light from behind). No backlight at all, external monitor port works fine. I assume something shorted when I tried to replace screen and may possibly have blown the fuse you mentioned in original post. Best case for me is that I can repair/bridge the fuse and hope nothing else in the backlight circuit went bad.

Checked with Lenovo authorized service folks and they said just replacing the screen; no further diagnosis, etc. was close to...

Talk about an useless reply...
I searched for "lenovo t430 no backlight" and this was the only result returned.
Anybody get any better suggestions?

Re: lenovo t430 no backlight

My daughter has a T430/2342CTO with the same unlit screen issue. Brand new two months ago with no hazard warranty; screen cracked and when I tried to replace, probably shorted out backlight circuit. Odd part is that battery was removed and power supply was disconnected five hours before and wasn't expecting any residual charge. Damage done; I figure that my options at this stage are:
1) Bite the bullet and turn the whole mess over to a Lenovo repair shop. $$$$$
2) Bite the bullet and turn the whole mess over to and independent repair shop....
