It sounds like you might have a bad cable or connection if you can attach the inverter cable and the display flickers or comes on and off. (That is if I understood your post.) The backlight could also be bad.

Check the take apart instructions at iFixit: The free repair manual. Look for inverter replacement and backlight replacement.
