My broken MacBook pro.
A little about the computer. It is a refurbished 2007 2.2ghz with 2gb ram. I put a 500gb WD hdd in it less than a year ago. I've never had any serious problems with it. I do not have my apple discs - though i will have them in a week.
The symptoms: upon power up I get no screen. No grey, no white, no blue. Nothing. The fans kick on, the hdd spins up, the LED on the front comes on and stays on. I get the classic apple "chime." then it sits there.
I tried to boot into target mode via FireWire, something I have done successfully in the past, to my PowerPC g5. No go. I hooked up my external monitor and tried cmd+decrease brightness. I also tried f7 and fn+f7 to mirror the displays. Nothing. Because I can't see anything, I can't log in. My PowerPC is set to share Internet via the mbp, but it doesn't get internet, which I take it to mean that the mbp is not getting even close to booting up.
I used the machine successfully 4 hours before the failure. I shut it (gently) when i left. When I returned, I got the symptoms described above.
My stuff is all backed up - but I would really like to get this machine working again. Any suggestions are helpful and appreciated.

Maybe your screen has gone out on your laptop? I have noticed on my apple laptop (the 2008 black mac book) that my screen is not as bright as it used to be and eventually that it will go out.
This is just a suggestion. Hope this helps!
