Could be a connection, the inverter, a cable or backlight - follow this post for troubleshooting & diagnosis. Connect to an external display will rule out video chip/logic board problems.

If you can see the desktop on the machine, you most likely have an inverter or inverter cable problem. To verify this, hook it up to an external monitor and see if you get a picture. Also try moving the screen up and down and see if there are any changes. Let us know your results.
