llnetnet, since you already changed the inverter and the cable but only get backlight for a brief moment, it is most likely that you are having CCFL issues which would require you to replace the LCD. The only other possibility would be the power coming from the logic board to the invert having issues. That would be a board level repair and difficult to diagnose without the proper serial number. The serial number will allow us to determine what hardware your computer has.
