My Lcd goes half black sometimes (thin blue line
and thicker red line when booting up) But when I
move my computer, or more exact open and
close the screen it goes away......What is bad or
going bad?....I hooked up a regular monitor and it
worked fine every time..... Is it the inverter?

The inverter powers the backlight, it is not an inverter problem. Most likely the ribbon cable between the video card and the display is going bad or the plug at the end of the cable is coming loose from the socket.
