Screen is dim or completely dark - Already changed inverter cable
It is possible that my MacBook 13" early 2009 Santa Rosa - Penryn was bounced around in Transit. What happens is the screen is so dark it is not usable when I adjust the brightness eventually it will flicker on and it is very dim but I can use it, if I move the screen it will go back to being dark and I have to repeat the process to make it dim again. For now I have plugged it into an external monitor and it works.
I want to do a repair but I am sure if I need to repair:
Display Data Cable
Inverter
Inverter Cable
Display
Is this a good question?

I am going to start with the inverter cable, I will update my result here.

I changed the inverter cable turned it on and everything worked. I then restarted the and it went black again. When I turn it on it flickers then goes black.
I am now back where I started with the same issue.
What should I do next?

If I change the brightness up and down it will turn on and work like normal for awhile then it goes dull again - FYI

I think the questions and answers here are about different machines. Please give us the last three figures of your serial number.
