I'm assuming it won't come on when you reboot? Do you have a monitor or have a friend who has one so you can connect the laptop to that and see if works? It could be the laptop screen, but there are other possibilities too.

does it make the normal sounds and gyrations when rebooting? [it=laptop]

if yes, try connecting it to an external monitor.

I done that and I shine my flashlight on screen I can see the operating system.

Sounds like a bad screen. Can you connect it to a monitor just to be sure it's not related to the graphics chip or card?

I done some research might be the inverter too?

I can see the windows is still running but very very dark. I hit a key with lightbulb icon and screen come on but for a second.
