Hello,

I am new to your forum and in electronics also.

I have a pcb from a laptop screen and I need to identify a "pin" named LED_EN.
I have found the label LED_EN but I can't understand where the pin is

Thank you

going by the way the rest of the testpoints are labelled
I would expect it to refer to the testpoint I have arrowed

the hole in the middle just indicates that it is also a via ... a connection between board layers

look at the long row just up a bit where the light is reflecting from the board .... they all have holes too
