Absolute macbook pro newbie, help me with problem

[AceBalasador]

Hello everyone

Searched google for macbook forums and this was the very 1st to show in the results

Anyway here it goes

A friend of mine left his MBP under my he said that if i want to watch a movie or two just wiggle the mouse pad. So after a while i wiggled it but only the keyboard lights up but nothing on screen, just simply off. i push the keys nothing happens, i try to touch the mouse pad and still nothing happense, i tap the power button nothing happens, i push alt+ tab nothing happens. So to me it "hanged" so i pressed the power button for 10 seconds then it powered off.

So now i powered it up again, i see a white screen with apple logo with a loading sign animating. THen i see the purple clouds wallpaper and the mouse pointer then... NOTHING more... nothing else... no task bar, no windows, no login screen, nothing... But when i push the buttons there is a sound bing played like a drum, but still doesnt show anything.

Can any1 here help me? What's happening?

Thanks and more power!

Sounds like some system file is corrupted. Those steps should fix it

Yeah but try the troubleshooting steps in that guide. E.g. Safe Boot

Do a safe boot or repair startup disk using os x install dvd.
