Help Finding DSi XL Lower Screen Backlight Fuse

I was making a DSi XL Macro mod. It worked for a little bit, but it just randomly quit. It blinks blue for a second, and dies. The bottom screen didn't blink like I'd expect if the 330Ω resister failed. Ive tried known good lower screens on this, Which leads me to believe its the lower backlight fuse, However, I cant find where the fuse is. Does anyone know where it is?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The DSi has 2 fuses, both labelled F1 for some reason. The first one is near the charging port

and the second is on the underside of the power board.

I think the one you're looking for would be the one on the power board, but I'll let you determine that for sure. Good luck!

Unfortunately, those fuses are unrelated. Those fuses are power related (charge fuse and battery fuse respectively) I need to find the fuse or component related to the lower screen backlight.

@soup244 Well, those two are the only fuses in the console, so something else must have failed. Unfortunately, I don't know what it might be
