Well a few weeks ago I got a iBook G3 900 14 inch off ebay for cheap, had a issue with the backlight going out then finally wouldn't come on at all. I read it could be a GPU or inverter cable issue.
Before taking the whole unit apart I tried to swap a good known screen and inverter to no avail so I ordered the inverter/reed switch cable assembly and put it in today. took me 1hr and 45 mins.
This job is like kicking yourself in your own balls it sucked so bad, but every screw went back in the same spot and its working great as we speak.
Heres a guide showing the 60 or so easy steps.
