Backlight problens with screen

Hi my mid 2007 macbook has a problem with the backlight . when the screen is moved up and down the backlight goes out with an image behind it and sometimes it dows it with out touching the lid. When the laptop has been on for a while and I move the lid up and down the light seems to stay on. Is it an inverter or inverter cable. I have saw a cable on ebay but it says late 2007, 2008 & 2009

Would this still work with the mid 2007?

Im greatful for any help.

Here's how to replace the inverter cable on a A1181:

Now there are two different cables (listed at the start of the guide) so you need to determine exactly which machine you have. To do that go to this link and input your serial number.
