The problem seems to be sorted. Infact, I am posting from it now.

I replaced the inverter, and it didn't work. I then flashed the BIOS to the latest version (using HP's tool) within Windows, through the external monitor. The only way I could get my desktop to appear on the monitor was by launching Vista in 640x480. Then it rebooted, and the laptops screen came on, so I was chuffed.

I had previously flashed the BIOS while the old inverter was in, and it didn't work. Maybe it was the two together.

Now I just need to upgrade the RAM.
