Working on power supply boards like the ILPI-354 V.A involves dealing with lethal voltages.
Do not just replace the fuse. Check the main switching transistor/MOSFET and the bridge rectifier diodes for shorts. If you replace the fuse without fixing the short, the new fuse will blow immediately.

To help you with the specific problem you are facing with your ILPI-354 V.A board, could you tell me:
At the AC input, you will find a fuse, a varistor (MOV) for surge protection, and a network of inductors and X/Y capacitors forming an EMI filter. If the monitor is completely dead with no standby light, this is the first area to check. A blown fuse here almost always points to a shorted bridge rectifier or a shorted main switching MOSFET. The Feedback Loop If you replace the fuse without fixing the
To keep the output voltages stable, the SMPS uses an optocoupler (usually a 4-pin IC like the PC817) and a shunt regulator (like the TL431). The optocoupler provides electrical isolation between the dangerous high-voltage primary side and the low-voltage secondary side while allowing the secondary voltage levels to control the switching frequency on the primary side. Inverter Protection Circuits
Inspect the solder joints around the inverter transformer and the CCFL connector pins. The high voltage and heat can cause the solder to crystallize and crack over time. Resoldering these joints often cures the problem. Safety Warnings
