X220t no backlight
My x220t was working fine, I turned it off, put it in my bag, took it back out. Now there's no backlight. Any ideas?

Trying it on an external screen(if possible), re-seating the connections and/or boot it to Linux to see if it works would be no cost options.

Not to be cynical, but it didn't get roughed a bit too much did it?marlinspike wrote: ↑Sun Apr 15, 2018 9:08 pmMy x220t was working fine, I turned it off, put it in my bag, took it back out. Now there's no backlight. Any ideas?
Heavy books stacked on top of it or the bag itself falling from some height (or worse, being thrown?)
These might cause the back-light to physically crack, so I hope that this is not the case.

A few years ago, my Dell screen (Inspiron 3000 series i3 processor) gave out similarly. I had to open it up, disconnect the planar-display connection cable and then reconnect it.. after this, the screen worked again.
I wish your luck on your repairs.
