if you connect the hdmi cable and switch to external display is it still working ?

if so sounds like either the display cable is loose ( or faulty) that goes from the system board to the display or it might be the inverter board\back light is faulty- can you see anything at all on the display - look under a bright light.
Yes, joebloggs, if i connect it to the tv, everthing is working except the display.

And if the display cable is loose, is it possible for me to fix it?
