the inverter has failed

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the most likely problem with the LCD screen in this scenario is that the inverter has failed. The inverter is a component used in LCD displays which prepares the power connection so that is provides the correct power to the screens back-light lamp. If there is a problem with the inverter then it would fail to provide enough power which will cause the light and screen to flicker. Such as in this scenario.
