                    If your laptop's LCD is illuminated properly then it's not the inverter. If it was, then the image would be all OK but dimm. As you're explaining the problem, the image is distorted/white/with stripes, but the illumination is perfect.  
So, if applying pressure to the LCD assembly makes the image look just nice, i.e the pressure gets rid of all image distortion, then my guess is you're looking at two potential problems:
1. Some contacts are torn off/unsoldered from the LCD
2. Some wires are broken
To fix this you'll need to open the LCD assembly totally, and check the wiring and solder joints. Usually the joints are covered with plastic so you'll need to do some more dissasembly of the LCD screen itself.
Hope this helps
