I’m back to trying to bring my ThinkPad 701C (the one with the “butterfly” keyboard) back to life. The only thing that is still vexing me is the display backlight inverter board. I just replaced the blown fuse on it, and when I went to power it on, the magic smoke came out of *something* on it. All the parts on the inverter are available, so I might just do a full rebuild.

1. A laptop, partially reassembled. The “butterfly” keyboard is deployed and is wider than the rest of the laptop.
