Look at the fuse (F7 label) in the centre of this photo.
It is the cause of many T440p thinkpads having dead backlights. When a backlight fails, it can surge, blowing this 0402, 32V 3A fuse.
It carries 20V DC to the backlight. Replace it and replace the LCD. Let there be light!

#censorship #NewsGuard This is getting ridiculous—Their journalism is truthful, that's the problem! One of the few blogs that actually do, you know, JOURNALISM. Look at Consortiums pedigree for gawds sake.

Pretty cool, videos of #Debian Hamburg 2022 are online. I've only watched the opening ceremony thusfar, but putting faces to names is rewarding for me personally. For instance Holger has quite the 'doo! 😆

"Indian foreign minister reminded Europeans that their problems are not the problems of the whole world.
▪️The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was charged with buying Russian oil, to which he replied: **“We do not send anyone to dig Russian oil. We are simply looking for the best deal on the market. I wouldn't mix it with politics."**
▪️ “It is time for Europe to abandon the attitude: “My problems are the problems of the whole world, and the problems of the whole world are not my problems. If you are in trouble, then you are in trouble, and if I am in trouble, then we are in trouble,” the Foreign Minister also said."

According to one UK economist:
“Western countries will have to negotiate with Russia, because side effects of anti-Russian sanctions lead the world to a series of global crises, - Guardian.
The West's “economic war” against Moscow is progressing “not according to plan” and is causing a number of dangerous “side effects,” writes a leading British publication.
Thus, due to anti-Russian restrictions, developed countries are already threatened with an economic recession, "rising inflation and unemployment." And developing countries will soon experience a "combination of fuel, food and financial" shocks, which, apparently, will lead to a series of defaults on obligations to Western creditors and lead to a "full-scale global debt crisis"
