@david,
ThismodelhasLEDbacklitscreen,sothereisnoinverter.
Mostlikelyitsoneofthefollowing:
1.TheLCDcableislooseandmakesbadconnectionwiththemotherboardorLCDscreen.Reseatingthecableonbothendsmightfix
theissue.ItsnotverylikelythatLCDcableisloosebutreseatingitdoesntrequireanyspareparts,soitworthtrying.
2.DefectiveorfailingLCDcable.Ithinkthisisyourproblem.Youcantryreplacingthecable.Ithinkyouhavegoodchancedtofix
