So I picked up a cheap MBP from the recyclers. It is headless (no display), but other then that and missing the ODD, its complete. There seems to be a bit of corrosion on the logic board, which may be causing the problem but maybe its another problem.

The machine won't boot!

Nothing I do will make it boot. I plug it in (using the right adapter), get the green light, press the power button, fans come on, but thats it. No chime (so its not POSTing), no display on my monitor, nothing. Just sits there spinning. Tried with multiple known-good RAM sticks, nothing works.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
