MacBook Pro has a bad backlight. How do I know which parts are broken?
My MacBook Pro’s backlight broke on the board the other day. However, I really don’t want to spend $200 for Apple to fix it and would rather just do it myself instead. Although, I’m afraid to say that I have very little to no experience with this stuff. I do not even know which fuses I need to replace in order to fix this problem. I also am not sure if I have the right resources for this. All I have is a $7 soldering iron (also, I can obviously buy the replacement fuses if I need to). Could just a soldering iron pull this off? Also, would anyone happen to know which chips and fuses are blown on the board or how I can find out which ones are broken? I have provided pictures of the board.
Based on only doing research with Louis Rossmann, I believe the backlight chip is where that “P” symbol is, right? That’s why i took a close up picture of that.
Is dit een goede vraag?

I agree @oldturkey03 the LVDS connector looks like it got wet as it has some corrosion.
