The easiest connector to come off is the one under the PCMCIA slot. It just pushes staright on.

Matt and Neil; I opened my L100 over the weekend and could find no fuses inside. Nothing remotely similar to a fuse. However, after re-assembling the Libby, mine no longer works either. This suggests operator error. I have no manual or instructions telling me the proper way to disassemble the L100, just used my engineering background and common sense. Clearly, a little knowledge of these small Japanese connectors would have been helpful. I will be going back into the L100 to find which little connector is not seated correctly. Mine displays the same symptoms as yours, Matt - 3 of the LEDs light and the hard drive spins. No image on the screen.
Anyone have a link to the proper assembly / disassembly procedures for the L100?
Dick

I went over my 110 board for quite a while last night, and couldn't find anything that looked uniquely like it may be a fuse. I think Neil was lucky that the 70 had a rather large fuse in comparision to the other components on the board. And it was sitting right next to the input power plug. So finding an open circuit across it was probably a dead giveaway. That fuse powered the screen, and I guess I was pretty lucky that Neil had dealt with the exact same issue.
Ahem. Lucky. Cheeky whippersnapper :)
Neil has been an electronics engineer for nearly thirty years and knew what he was looking for... and if one 70 had a fault in one of three power circuits, it was a good place to start looking.
Now the issue with this 110 MB is that >nothing< works when the system
is powered up. Or nothing that I can detect besides 3 out of 4 LEDs lighting, and the HDD spinning. So there may be no dead fuse to find.
Silly question I know - but is there anything coming out of the video socket? Is it just the video screen that's dead? If it is, then it's likely a fuse or other component of the voltage supply to the screen; the lamp driver inverter, perhaps?
