Hey guys,
I sold this machine to a friend of my wife a few months ago. She went to use it and the screen was black. I replaced the screen assembly and all the cables and no luck. It's probably the backlight capacitor correct?
Thanks for any info.

Re: X220 no backlight
Does it work with an external display? If yes, it could be the backlight's fuse.

I replaced the motherboard and all is good now. Glad to have it back up and running.
