This type of problem can be tricky, but can be narrowed down fairly quickly. First thing to do is plug an external monitor into the VGA connector on your laptop. It will be a 15 pin connector. Toggle your screens using the "FN" button and the button that shows a monitor icon or says "LCD/Monitor depending on the brand of laptop you have. If the external monitor fires up with no lines then you can safely assume that the integrated video adapter/card/GPU is fine. If the external monitor has the lines, then it is safe to assume that the card is shot and you will typically need a new mother board because the cards are integrated into the boards in most cases. Some newer laptops have FRU (Field replaceable unit) cards and can be swapped out, but generally that is not the case. Back to scenario one. If the external is OK then your LCD panel is probably shot and needs to be replaced. The inverter does not typically cause this problem, but certainly would be a cheap place to start. They are about $15 and are easily replaced. Just Google "replacing a laptop inverter" and you will find numerous resources Also, check that the LCD connector plug is properly seated in the interface slot on the motherboard. With all computer troubleshooting, start with the simple things and progress through the process to more complicated causes. Hope that helps. If you need a new laptop we have them.http://tiny.cc/OhP8t
