@janys788 that is reference designator Q7706 which is the LCD backlight FET and it is a FDC638APZ For more information on it read the datasheet on here. Looks like this MOSFET is readily available at many different places. So it will depend on where you are located.

Thank you very much! Do you happen available troubleshooting for this mainboard?

@janys788 there are no manuals like that around. It would be great if there was. Those incidents do require board level repair. One will have to know how to read schematics, have a boardview document for that particular logic board and have all the right tools to do the trouble shooting.

Good. I'll try to replace FDC638APZ and Fuse ;) The device was hit water.

I thoroughly cleared to oxidation but FDC and fuse "P" is broken. Backlight dont work.
