backlight fuse went out. need replacement link

I was replacing my LCD screen on my macbook pro and mistakenly unplugged the LVDS connector from the LCD screen when the laptop was on. i used a difference LVDS connector and still no luck. Looks like i burnt out the Backlight Fuse, as the screen slowly went dim and then completely black. If i shine a flashlight on the back i can see the screen. So the backlight is not working.

Do you know what fuse type i need to buy to replace it? i can't find it on digikey.com. can someone please post a link of which fuse i need. thanks!

Just because the backlight isn’t working doesn’t mean it’s the fuse you will likely need to go through the schematic probing voltages till you find the culprit. F9800 is the fuse it’s on the back of the board kind of parallel to the space between the 2 USB ports, half way to the fan cut out and below two larger capactors in a group of 4 similar sized resistors and capacitor.

it’s far easier to find the location using board view software for 820-2850.
