x230t display not working

#1 Post by sleeping_nicodemus » Thu Dec 18, 2025 11:43 pm

x230t internal display bricked after update?


I updated arch last night - used the system for a while and shut it down.

Today the internal display doesn't work at all. The backlight comes on but no characters. External display works. Help me!

I've tried removing power hard disk and ram . Pressing and holding power to drain the caps. I even checked connections to the panel.

can my little friend be saved?

There was no mechanical shock or anything. I'm perplexed.

Check fuse F2 near the LCD-connector on the motherboard for continuation.
It's a 32V/3A/Fast.

But I actually prefer Murphy's from Cork!
