Computer is on, Screen is black
Greetings,
I have a 13.3" Macbook (Penryn); it has not been dropped or mistreated.
The display is completely black, but running. (sound is functional)
I can see the desktop if I shine a flashlight through the back of the Apple cutaway.
If I close the lid to sleep it, and then quickly open it - the screen fully lights up for just a second. I tried opening it at different angles to no avail.
Any thoughts? Inverter, backlight, etc?
Thanks in advance!
Is this a good question?

Okay, so I replaced the Inverter w/ one I purchased from this site...
Same deal. When I boot the computer or close/open the lid, the screen will be on for a a couple seconds (revealing my desktop or the boot screen)... then cuts to black.
Could that really be the cable?
