CCFL Inverter Board

>>1125665
That's a lot of connections for just a ccfl inverter. sure it doesn't do something else?

It's an inverter and LED status board. Thinkpad is my guess. What is the FRU number on the back?

nvm, found it. FRU41W1479, one of the variants for T61 (14") and T400.
I don't have the pinout of this one on file, I'd have to go test it off a live machine. Is there a specific pin you're looking for or do you need them all?

You guys are exactly right. It is an inverter and LED status board off of some disposed Thinkpads! Couldn't bare to see it end up in a landfill. And yes, the FRU number is correct. Here's a picture of the reverse side of the board.

I'm trying to light up the LCD Panel, so I suppose I'll need to find the positive (VCC) and Ground pins. The Standby and DIM pins would be nice too. The white plug under the plastic cover goes to the LCD Panel with two leads. The white plug on the other side supplies the the power and controls to this inverter board. That's where I'm having trouble.

If it helps, the Control IC (with 16 pins) says 029910SN. I can't find any datasheet for that either.

Thanks guys!

Could the "1" pin be negative since it leads to the screw hole?

I just had an idea. Will I be able to use a ballast instead of an inverter and plug the ballast straight into the wall? I'd rather use the inverter, but I may not be able to figure out the pinouts.
