The screen light on my laptop became intermintant. Soon the screen would only light up if it was open about 1/4 of the way. Eventually it would not light up at all.
I can still see images if I look closly at the screen and shine a light on it. I replaced the LCD invertor and it still does not work. I don't know if it could be the LCD cable or if it is the screen it self or something else. I was wondering what step I should take next. Thanks.

By your description the Cable between the Monitor and M'Board a Ribbon Cable has a broken track or several. If your Monitor has 2 cables linking it to the M'Board look at the small one first for a break but you'll need to test these with a Multimeter to be sure which wire/track is broken and what is required to repair the unit.

It could also be the Circuit Board on the Monitor but this is only likely if the unit has suffered some Rough Handling.

From the note about how your lamp used to work with the display 1/4 of the way up, it sounds like the cable or connections that provide power to the lamp inverter is broken.

You may need to replace whatever cable runs from the inverter back into the laptop.
