The most likely cause of the issue is A. Defective inverter. An inverter converts DC power into AC power, which is necessary to illuminate the LCD panel. A faulty inverter can cause the screen to appear dark or dim, even if the backlight is functional. Here's why the other options are less likely: B. Incompatible video driver: This would typically cause display artifacts or incorrect resolutions, rather than a completely blank screen. C. Incorrect input source: This would usually result in a "No Signal" message on the screen. D. Burned-out bulb: This is possible, but less likely in modern LCD panels. Therefore, a defective inverter is the most probable cause of the blank screen issue.

Selected Answer: A
The inverter is a component that provides power to the LCD panel. If the inverter is defective, the LCD panel will not light up. However, if you shine a flashlight into the LCD panel, you will be able to see a faint image because the backlight is still working.
