My mid 2009 white macbook wont display anything. i installed a 750gb harddrive about a year ago, and replaced one of the 1gb sticks of ram with a 2gb stick about 2 months ago. every thing recognized and it was running very smoothly until last week when i went to do a routine restart. the computer just stuck on the desktop with the spinning disk in the middle for a couple minutes so i just powered it down manually.
NEXT STARTED THE TROUBLE! it wouldnt start up after that. I can hear the hdd spinning and the dvddrive starting up and the light turns on. but thats all i get.
i was convinced it was logic board so i went on ebay and bought a used 2008 black 2.4ghz macbook thinking i could just take the logic board out of that one and replace my 2.13 ghz board. the guy said it was working all it needed was RAM, a hdd and the L bracket to cover them. he has 100% feedback so i am trusting him that it works. but when i put my RAM and hdd and L bracket from my white mac into the 2008 black one i just got yesterday, IT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS MY WHITE ONE!
he said it was working so heres where im convinced that it could be a faulty hdd or RAM.
Ive also heard of battery connection issues.
has anyone had the same troubles or know what hardware issue it might be?(assuming that its harddware)
