Hello Andy, I know you said you tried a new LCD, inverter board, and inverter cable. Have you tried a new Display Data Cable? MacBook Display Data Cable If the backlight is going in and out when your moving the screen it could be this cable.

Looks like you will just have to replace the upper case to repair.

It is probably the connector on the logic board that the cable plugs into that is bad. I have seen this when I test stuff.

Are you able to show a picture of what your screen looks like? The display assembly is 2 parts, but they should come with screws holding them together.

It involves a little more work, but you could also try lifting the logic board off from the battery just enough to let the phone reset everything. Then putting the phone back together and turing it on with the display in.

Sounds like it could be an issue with the connector on the logic board, but hard to say without further troubleshooting.

Try going into system preferences, and then clicking on the Energy Saver icon (looks like a light bulb). There should be 2 tabs, one saying battery and the other saying Power Adapter. Towards the bottom left of the window, both should have a check box that says (Show battery status in the menu bar. Check the box and see if that fixes it.

Yes you can.

If both screens work on a different phone, then most likely it is the logic board. Sometimes the connectors on the motherboard just stop working for whatever reason.
