Let me put in my thoughts:
Usually, Backlights go out slowly. on top of that, they will display a redish hue the same way the other flourescents do like as overhead lights.
Inverters are the ones that work one second, then not the next. As I work on laptops, it's the most common symptom of a failing invertor. Just look for an inverter on eBay. REMEMBER, you MUST get the same one as the one in your current screen. Failing to do that can result in damage to electronics that is attached to the inverter
The inverter is the cheapest part you can get. If it's not the inverter (the inverter is most likely the problem) you will need a new screen. That's more expensive, but you must get the EXACT inverter for it. I found this out the wrong way a long time ago.
Noting that, this exibited the same symptoms as my friend's iBook G4 inverter problem. after getting a new one, it was fixed.
That's my knowledge from working with laptops (which I have done almost 50 this year with this problem)
