A fuse is much more than just a conductor it is a safety device designed and implemented to protect more valuable things downstream from it. Be it boards, screens or humans. If it was a fuse you bypassed then that fuse blew for a reason and you basically let that unsafe condition travel to places and potentially damage things that the fuse was designed to protect.
Based on that fact that you thought it would be a good idea to just solder the fused link together I suggest you save the rest of the pc from yourself and have a professional look at and repair it.
If it wouldn't lose me a lot of LCD wholesale business, I'd love to tell you how many professional shops that claim to do board level repair solder over the fuse. If only you knew. lol. Some of the biggest reverse logistics providers in the country that large shops send their customer's boards to do this as common practice. I really thought this was limited to my live sound experience during my teenage years where the FOH guy would wrap the fuses of the amplifiers with tin foil from his lunch sandwich if they blew mid show, but this crap happens all the way up the ladder.
3 and a half years ago before I had a clue I'd use a featherweight wire, something even skinnier than a strand of wire in an IDE cable, after removing the fuse. I lacked the equipment to do good SMD rework, the best I could do was solder a jumper after removing the old fuse. I doubt this was any better. Soldering over the fuse seemed too ghetto, the ball would have to be large and heavy to go over the fuse. It could fall off at any time. I couldn't bring myself to solder over a fuse. Not that this is any less ghetto than putting a strand of ultra high gauge wire between the pads.
Now, I look for the value of the fuse, and replace it with a proper fuse. It's hard to find people who care about basic workmanship. People who care if someone sees what they did 30 years later. Unfortunately, most just don't care. Patch it up with the least amount of work, skills, or equipment necessary, and be on their way. The people who don't care will likely be onto their next job by the time their work blows up in someone's face, and it won't be their problem.
Sorry I didn't have anything useful to contribute. Except, on an Apple board(or any modern board), don't assume something is a fuse, capacitor, or resistor based on the color of the head of the device.. you will end up frying something. Been there, done that.

The labor costs make it pointless to disassemble the unibody displays just to swap out a panel.
I've had the privilege of selling parts to some young entrepreneurs who charge $25 to swap out the panel, who don't break the glass, and don't get dust under the glass.
