    Alright Well I bought a new inverter plugged it in and it still is doing the same thing. Only when i jiggle the wires the light goes on and i see the screen but not for long. I check for loose conncections but can't find any. The external display is fine. I'm wondering if it could be the actual bulb.

    maybe one of the inner wires of the diplay cable is broken. That would explain why the screen works when you jiggle the wires.

    Disconnect the lid switch. They tend to stick on the dv2000. Someone posted a walkthrough on this forum on how to do that.
