Looks like your "new" inverter board might be faulty. Is it really a new inverter board or a used one ? I would try to boot from another source (installation disk, external drive) to check for a software issue. I don't know what happened when you cracked the LCD, if the unit was dropped or not but in the case of a dropped unit you can't exclude the possibility of a damaged logic board too.

No it wasn't dropped, my neice was pressing on it while it was open. the backlight was still opperational while it was cracked. I got a new inverter board with the lcd so I swapped it. here's the thing, I tried reinstalling the old one and it's doing the same thing. Boot's up, goes to the front page, dim's after 5 min, then the backlight shut's down. I even tried resetting the display with command,option p and r, and letting it chime 3 times. it does seem like the inverter board but this one is new, it's still very possible it could be bad, the old one stay's on a little longer than the new one. weird!!!!!
Could you also try to do a SMC reset:

Could you also boot the MB from another source than your internal drive and check if the issue persists ?
at this point I will try just about anything..lol.. Thanks I will try it.

Hook up to an external monitor to test the GPU. Wait ten minutes to see if it goes black. Why did you replace the lcd & inverter? What was happening?

The Lcd was cracked. the screen is still up and running but the backlight isn't. if I hook an external monitor the external works fine.
