K thnx,does it matter wat motherboard i have? and i have a TA-79, so the red line is supposed to be wire right, connected to each end? is that all i need to soldier to get the backlight working again? and if it is I want to thank every1 for their info, this is one of the greates sites ever.

just drop a blob of solder on it or connect a wire from each end of it.

k found it, do i just put solder over it without wire connected to the ends, or do i need to connect wire to both ends? and we tried using a flat screwdriver to bridge them and it worked!!!! the screen came on!!!! just need to go buy some solder tomorrow and if i need cables ill buy them. Oh and does anyone know if dents in back of the LCD (due to taking it out) will have an effect on it, we already got the scrren to come up. i just want to know if we just drop some solder over the damn thing, or do i need to solder wire to each end? thnx for ur help psp339 u have come through for me man.

Just drop a blob of solder on the fuse. you dont need wire.

k thnx man, but due to some dents the LCD took when i was opening it on the corners, do u think it will affect it?

loi nice thread the dents shouldn't effect it much you may have some bad spots on the lcd but i can't really tell what the damage it

there is dents one of them is big, but we get to mturn the screen on and there is nothing wrong with it, we bridged it with flat screwdriver and it turned on, need to go to radio shack to get solder, what type of solder do u guys recommend? and what resistors are good for 2 blue LED's, i know its supposed to be 10Ohm but how many watts?

thnx for ur help

Get some rosin core solder(.050 diameter).
Take a look at these resistors. http://www.opamp-electronics.com/~opamp/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1086

yea i saw the same 10Ohm 1/8 watt resistor at radioshack today when i went to get my magnifier and soldering iron, guess ima have to go back 2morrow, hey psp339 can u post some pictures of the solder just to give me an idea of what it looks like so i can pik it up 2morrow as well, oh and should i get flux? ive never used a soldering iron b4 so im guessing its a good idea.

psp339 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 07, 2008, 11:53:33 PM »

Heres the solder i am using for all my mods.

Its $3.29
Its at radioshack. didn't buy any flux.

4dP · « **Reply #14 on:** February 08, 2008, 12:18:10 AM »

that'll be fine

McLovin · « **Reply #17 on:** February 08, 2008, 07:31:45 AM »

k guess im all set, just need to go to school then wait for ma dad to go to radioshack, i didnt pik these things up cuz idk how much wattage i need the resistors to be

i never had probably with different wattages so i wouldn't worry about it just know you getting the right resistor

McLovin · « **Reply #19 on:** February 08, 2008, 07:35:46 AM »

yea the right ones are 10 Ohm am i correct?

McLovin · « **Reply #20 on:** February 08, 2008, 04:15:25 PM »

sorry for double posting but b4 i go to get the stuff at radioshack, how sure are u guys the bridging the fuse will work, i already got signs of it being the fuse cuz we wanted to test it out, so we used a flat screwdriver to bridge them for a moment and the backlight came back on
