x230t internal display bricked after update?
I updated arch last night - used the system for a while and shut it down.
Today the internal display doesn't work at all. The backlight comes on but no characters. External display works. Help me!

can my little friend be saved?
There was no mechanical shock or anything. I'm perplexed.

Check fuse F2 near the LCD-connector on the motherboard for continuation.
It's a 32V/3A/Fast.
