Sure sounds like the florescent lamp, since you already changed the
inverter. And you checked the cables and it doesn't sound like the lid
switch.
The good news is the lamp is replaceable and you can buy them for 40
bucks or less. The two thicker wires from the inverter going to the LCD
are the wires going to the lamp. You probably have to partly disassemble
the LCD screen to get to it.
