    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.

    I have a similar issue and wonder about the answer to this question: I do see the screen very dimly. Is this a sign the inverter board is bad? Hope so since I ordered one and it awaits installation. Thanks, in advance, for your help! Jim

    Replaced the inverter board and now everything is fine. I did get external video when the LCD was not working.

    If you replaced the lvds cable and the inverter board the other parts that can be checked are the inverter cable, the backlight lamp and the LCD screen itself. Do you see the desktop without light or the screen is totally black ?
