Thinkpads Forum

Hello,
Could someone identify whether either of the two fuses F17 or F18 (circled) could be for the LCD of the X230?

I can't see other fuses around the LCD connector (unless they could be on the other side of the board?).

I wonder if they are associated with the power/battery instead. I'm getting a multimeter tomorrow.

Should I take off the motherboard and see if there are fuses below?


Thank you.

I would say that 10A fuses are not the ones designed for protecting the LCD circuits, but rather they're for the entire laptop. Based on historical accounts, the LCD fuses are typically more in the order of 0.5 to 1A and are physically much smaller than the 10A fuses. I don't know the layout of the X230, but if the LCD connector is the one that's in the upper right corner of your photo (labelled CN3), then I assume that fuses F3 and/or F4 to the left of that connector are the ones for the LCD.
