LCD Panel backlight not working properly
My LCD backlight is having some major trouble : if I put maximum brightness, the backlight goes off, I can only use the minimum brightness setting. Even then the light will go off after a certain time or while tilting the screen.
I can manage to turn it back on by switching on and off the brightness (with F1 and F2 keys) but either it takes many attempts or the screen lights partially or not at all.
I already tried replacing the inverter and the inverter power cable with no success. I guess the problem is the LCD panel itself or the cables going from the inverter to the LCD, but those can't be replaced without replacing the whole LCD, right?
Does all this make sense?
This is a 2.4 GHz (Penryn) machine.
Thanks for the help!
Is this a good question?

hook it up to an external monitor to isolate the problem and let us know the results.
