[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1371693, member: 24098"] It's probably the inverter module (although it could be a bad cable). The inverter steps up voltage to the CCFL tube that backlights your display. When it fails, you'll have a very faint display that you can see in certain light, but it won't have any backlight, nor will the brightness controls work. It's not uncommon for the inverter to fail. If it's just the inverter wires that have failed as the result of friction, it should be fairly obvious on a visual inspection, although it wouldn't hurt to do a continuity test on each of the leads.
