Monitor goes black

I am working on a Dell Latitude D610 laptop. The issue being the monitor would randomly go black during BIOS, it works fine with an external monitor, so I figured it was the inverter. I bought and replaced it, now it stays on longer but still goes black, unless I hold the button down that tells the laptop the screen is closed for a few seconds then release, after that it will either go black again, or stay on for indefinitely until a reboot then the problem repeats itself. Is this a monitor issue or a problem with the close button itself? Thanks for any help!
 
It is possible it could be a GPU issue, but I don't think the external monitor would work perfectly if it were the case.
 
The video cable that goes from the LCD panel to the laptops motherboard is bad... It usually gets pinched by a top cover hinge over time
