I had 8.5V at the boost circuit output, I have changed the backlight driver and wired the missing feedback line. When I connect the feedback wire input fuse is failing, Not sure why. I don't see any short at output

So you get image, only missing backlight?
Post diode mode to ground at both pins of D7701; w/ and w/o LCD connected.
Any history available?

Voltages at diode mode with respect to ground
Without display - 0.610V and 0.417V
With display - 0.607V and 0.416V

Be sure to connect feedback trace correctly.
And change U7701.

Look at the feedback pin and the missing pins, I think its an impossible task to solder the missing line ,
I don't understand what is the problem there.
R/C7704 looks good as their trace to U7701 too.
When feedback is broken (XW7720), this is what you need to do.

I am sorry, I didn’t understand that picture, could you give me bit more information?
Compare it with boardview; then run corresponding wire.
We have posted XW7720 pictures on the forum...

I have made a connection from the xw7720 n via to D7701cathode.
When I connect the screen I get 0V at o/p, Still, the display image is there.
But Q7706 is not turning ON. Q7706 gate has 8.2V.
When I check Q7707 Gate - the 5th pin is 0V and the 2nd pin is 3.3V.

So missing EDP_BKLT_EN signal.
"I had 8.5V at the boost circuit output"
Impossible without that signal.
Fuse gets burnt again?

Yes earlier I had 8.5V , that was before fixing the feed back issue. I have also changed the driver IC . Fuse is good now
Re-check all you done there.
Be sure didn't run wire between traces in wrong way.
Here some pictures.

Confirm continuity with schematic...

Yes the o/p has connection to the feed back pin of driver IC
Still missing EDP_BKLT_EN?

Now I can see both BKLT_PLT_RST_L and EDP_BKLT_EN are present and 3.3 V but Q7706 is not functioning I mean I get 0V at PPVIN_S0SW_LCDBKLT_FET. And 8.3V at PPVIN_S0SW_LCDBKLTFET.
I don't have Q7707 MOSFETs spare. Am I allowed to connect LCDBKLT_EN_DIV_L directly to Ground for testing purpose?

Yes, the problem solved, I have shorted the 1st and 6th pins of Q7707. Found the backlight is present. Then I have replaced the Q7707 with a new one. Now it's perfect. Thanks for the support
Why not LCDBKLT_EN_L???
Bypass pins 1/3 of Q7707.

However the issue is resolved. Apparently the driver IC and Q7707 were faulty. Replaced both and it's working perfectly
