Alright, so my buddy gave me his Inspirion to fix because something is wrong with the backlight. I can still see the display when I hold it up to a light so I know it has to be something with the backlight.

When the laptop is first turned on the backlight DOES flick on and then off almost immediately.

I reseated the cables coming from the inverter, that did nothing. Then I replaced the inverter board and still no difference. I even flashed the bios thinking maybe there was a problem with them, still nothing. Also updated the video drivers just thinking maybe that could be the problem.

The only thing I haven't tried yet is actually replace the backlight itself.

If anyone could help me out here that would be awesome, maybe I'm over looking something.

Thanks in advance.
