12V on F9700 is not enough info. You should measure if 12V is on both sides to make sure it is not blown.
Is there an image on the LCD? Was this liquid?

So the fuse is blown. This happend because of a short on the backlight output. Measure resistance to GND on C9796.

someone probably blew the fuse, carefully insepct the screen cable and connector, if nothing seems wrong replace f97000 and see what happens

Hold down the ALT key while turning it on. Disconnect any HDD. Do you get a boot menu? If not what is the voltage on C9015?

So no power to the LCD. I bet L9004 is fried. Check for a short on C9015 first before replacing it of course. LCD plugged in!

0.9m as in milli or Mega? If low then unplug LCD and see if short is gone. Inspect cable/connector for damage.

sounds like you are measuring to GND and not measuring across the suspect component.

Measure across pin 1 and 2 of the component
