Can anyone tell me what an "inverter" in a laptop does?
A failed screen requires the replacement of this part.
Thank you very much

It is essentially a power supply - it takes in a low DC voltage
(usually 12V) and outputs a high-voltage, low-current AC supply that
powers the fluorescent tube which illuminates the LCD.

A.K.A. 'switched mode power supply'.

A description that wouldn't have done anything for the OP.
