Hi,
My IBM X31 laptop screen stopped working after many years of use.
If I shine a flashlight on the LCD I can see the BIOS text which means that its either the inverter
or the CCFL. I've measured the output region with the non contact measurement of the UT210E
and it showed no output voltage. I removed the output capacitor from the inverter and while
it is not short circuit, I can only measure a few pF. So I assume that it failed open. The high
voltage transformer looks ok and its not shorted.
Is there anyway to find out the value of the damaged capacitor, in order to replace it?
Thanks.
