I'm working on a Toshiba A75-S209 Laptop. The picture still shows, but the backlight isn't working. It's currently torn apart at my workstation. I took my fluke meter to the inverter outputs, and even with the laptop off, I'm getting a solid 4VAC. Then once on for a second, it jumps around to the low to mid teens. It is also making a higher pitched buzzing noise.

I'm thinking the inverter is my culprit.

I hooked the backlight up to the inverter just to see if it even flashes for a quick second.
Right when the high pitched buzzing begins, it illuminates dimly on about 2" - 3" of a single side. After about 1.5 seconds it goes dark again.

Is the backlight getting worn out? Or is the buzzing, irratic voltage outputting inverter my issue?

THANKS!

If you can connect to a external monitor and the picture is good, then the problem is the screen. Have you read this foner article?
