@precognition so the capacitor that got destroyed is reference designator C9712 and it is a critical part of your LCD backlight. You do want to check your repair very carefully. Check the traces and post an image of your repair after the capacitor got damaged. Yes, there is no designated inverter. Check your backlight circuit according to the schematic.

@precognition "To the best of my judgement no traces have been broken in the damage or repair process" sure looks like broken traces to me. Those broken traces do not make contact with anything else. [image|1015844]
