| Hello all. I'm fairly certain that I've blown capacitor C36. It is located at the top left corner of the board. I believe that this capacitor is part of the LCD panel backlight power supply. The backlight does not work, but there is a faint image on the screen. I have tried all of the solutions for a broken backlight that I can find on this board including reseating everything, new bios, with and without hard drive, jumpering F1, etc... nothing works. I'm fairly certain that C36 is blown because when the unit is on, I get no voltage readings out of it, and the multimeter shows the cap as open. I have searched the board and have found references to C36, but I can't find any information about its values or the chances of replacing it. Any new info, or a shove to any previously posted info that I may have missed would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
