macbook a1226, display issue

My macbook A1226 macbook pro recently started acting up. The screen display's but it is very dark. The DVI output works fine.


I tried other known working screens, and it still has the same symptoms. The computer doesnt turn on unless the battery is in the computer ( with or without the ac cord attached).

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
