In 90% of the ones I've repaired, the answer is yes. I've done Gateway, HP/Compaq, Dell, Toshiba etc. If you're not afraid to take the screen assembly apart, it's not that tough to replace. Generally when an inverter goes, it will smell that burnt electric smell that we all dread. What kind of notebook is it?

Yeah, it's really just a ciruit board. Should be simple to change if you've already taken one apart. You can always find parts at laptopparts.com or notebookparts.com. Two different companies. The shop I used to work for buys from both of them.
