    Do you mean that the backlight never turns on but you can see the LCD display very faintly?

    I'd guess that the cable from the motherboard to the LCD inverter is broken (or not plugged in if it's separate from the screen cable), or the inverter is fried, or the wire connected to one of the ends of the CCFL backlight has broken off, in that order.
