I fixed the hinge problem around a year ago. It's been working just fine but lately the screen brightness has started flickering. It goes dimmer for a fraction of a second and then returns to the set brightness.

Could this be a symptom of inverter going bad?

Could be. I'd back up immediately and continue to do so daily in case the video goes. If it's still under warranty, I'd take it/send it to apple.

But back up!
