MacBook Pro won't start.

[Mrtaylorm]

Hey guys. I'm new here. I hope you guys can help me. I have MacBook Pro early 2008 model. One day I went to restart it and it never did come back on. You press the power button and the white LED light comes on for a second then goes right back off. What could this be? I took the RAM cards out and turned it on. It beeped once. Then a few seconds later is beeped again. With about 5 seconds between beeps(or around that)

Sounds Logic Board related to me...You could get Apple just to take a look for you if you are near a store...Then you'd at least know what the exact fault s.

This may help, if you haven't seen them already:

Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
Mac doesn't boot​

So do I need to replace the logic board?

Take it to Apple. They can test it and tell you if that's the problem.
