If it works when hooked to an external monitor then you either have a bad cable, cable connection to the LCD or a bad LCD. I would open it up and check the cable to make sure its connected and has no breaks. If the cable checks out you probably need a LCD. Good luck.

+ move the screen up and down and see if it flickers - thus indicating the data cable

This happens to my satellite too. Heres what I do to fix it.
1.Take Battery out
2.plug power in
3.while battery is still un-plugged and turned on pick up your laptop and tip it all the way sideways quickly. You should hear your fans boost and your screen will turn on.
4. replace battery while still turned on.

If this is working, aren't you essentially resetting the CMOS? If so then a new CMOS battery would solve this issue.

Thanks. Turns out when I split the case I did find a loose cable. Now it works great!
