Display backlight capacitor intermittent

I'm Trying to fix a Unibody MacBook, late 2008 ,13 inch , 2ghz. The backlight goes out on the display when it warms up. Backlight will come on briefly after power switch is pressed for a short bit. Works great on external monitor. Have replaced heat sync temp sensor, replaced entire screen with known good one. It acts like a capacitor issue. Do any of you know the location of the capacitor that triggers the backlight on this motherboard? And if so would you kindly share the info? Thank you for your help

I think you would need the full schematics and a multimeter to test everything. What happened before? Any damage?

@mactechplus is yours a 820-2327 logicboard?

What makes you think is a capacitor issue from all of the backlight circuit components? When all of this started? Did you dropped the device? Liquid spill or out of nowhere? @mactechplus

I think you are right. I have the same machine and it has the same problem. My case is a bit different. When my Mac first behaved that way? I followed up and found that my LVCD fuse blew and so I had to buy a new fuse. I did this twice and still the fuse kept on blowing and so I decided to short with a wire. this time round the display worked for some times and went off when the machine warms. I've been thinking the problem ever since and I think you are right. it can be a capacitor issue. let me try to see if I can find the capacitor itself

@wycliffe254v6 - Not likely, more like you have a bad LVDS cable or the connectors either within the display or the main logic board have corrosion damage.

@danj - So does it mean that there is no capacitor associated with the led display lights? apart from the fuse, what else do you suspect can be the major problem.

and apart from the ground shorting, what else do you think can be causing this fuse to blow out

@wycliffe254v6 - That’s not what I said… LED drivers use what we call a Buck Inverter circuit to alter the voltage for the backlight it uses both a cap and a coil.

But! Your issue is more likely a cable and/or connectors the cable connects to. I would say nine out of ten times that’s the issue as a short (burnt fuse) is the tell tale symptom of this.
