Mac laptop won't start up

Can someone please help me????
Everytime I start up my Mac I can hear it wanting to start however nothing is coming up on the screen...

did you try reinstalling the OS from your dvd? Check around on the forum for other tips on this kind of thing, but if nothing at all happens.. probably time for the apple store trip.

The cd driver doesn't accept anything...Nor will it eject my cd that is in it.

Call your local apple store in the morning, they'll tell you what best to do.

Most likely not since its a laptop, unless he found a way to steal a MB Pro Prototype !

ah, god my brain is off today. LAPTOP problem.. intel.. no. jeepers. I was just going to say that intel apple computers are going to have glitches and such for a while now, so that would probably be why the laptop isn't working correctly. but that's not the case.

Ah, alright. Well in any case, Apple store visit time. Explain it to them, they'll know what to do.
