I just had the inverter cable on my macbook but the screen is still dark. I get external video though, and I can just barely make out the display. Is it the backlight lamp? How do I fix that? Hoping something is just loose and that I wouldn't have to spend anything more...

Not sure what you mean when you say you 'had teh inverter cable'? Did you have it replaced or replace it?

Replace the inverter board. Sounds like the same problem I had: dim, barely visible finder. Replaced mine and the Macbook works fine now.
