Hi,
The LCD backlight on my HP ZBook G3 isn't working. Using a flashlight I can see that the display is working so it's not totally dead.
I'm guessing it's either a blown backlight fuse, or a broken backlight.
Does anyone know where the fuse is for the display backlight? I looked at the "HP ZBook G3 Backlight Fuse Location" and disassembled my laptop, but the only fuse I can find seems to not be blown, testing it with my multimeter a few nights ago showed about 2-3 Ohms. I'm not sure I'm testing the correct fuse, though.
Linked images show both sides of the motherboard. The fuse I've found and tested is the one labeled "F2", indicated by the big red arrow.

If that's the correct fuse then I guess the backlight is broken. If that's the case, does anyone here have any tips or pointers to where I can purchase a new one, and how to replace it?
Thanks,
