Default Canon XM1 (GL1) digital camcorder repair

Hi!

My friend brought me this camcorder with following problem description:
* First the picture on the LCD screen on the side disappeared
* the view finder worked, but camera could turn off any moment
* Then it died completely. No picture, no sound, no lights.

Now, I opened the camera and noticed that one of the wires going to the
LCD screen was broken, and someone had repaired it before. But the
soldering didn´t last, and so the wire was free again. I resoldered it,
and checked for fuses.. I´m not sure, but I think there are three fuses
on that small pcb to wich power cable from battery compartment connects
to. The suspected components were marked as FUxxxx, and were little
black smd components, maybe 4x5mm in size. "30" marked on top.
Are these fuses?
Any other parts that might have gone bad enough to kill the camera
completely?

TIA!
