Cant tell you. You would need a parts manual. On a Toshiba its just to
the right of the left hinge and you can activate it with the lid upen by
moving a magnet acoss the lid on the ouside (side opposide screen).

I guess I could always ask Fujitsu support what type of switch it is either
a pin or magnetic and where it might be located.. Wonder if they disclose
that type of information?

hello.

guess the only prob. on your pc is the connection of the ballast
to bulb,
try to check if it is properly suitted, and if not well guess that
its time for you to change the bulb or your backlight,

that's it.

good kuck

Found this post after google-ing for Averatec LCD issues. I have the
same problem as the Original Poster. After anywhere from 10 seconds to
an hour or more of use, the backlight (I am guessing) will die out. You
can faintly still see an image on the screen. Did anyone find out if it
was the backlight, or inverter, or a heat issue?

I am about to just remove the whole LCD screen upper half and turn this
into a home only mini PC using an external monitor...

Thanks in advance for any tips.

It's typically a CCFl driver board problem.
