I've been trying to almost a week now to figure out what's wrong with this unibody MacBook that I bought off of craigslist. I bought it not booting, when I saw that it did indeed get past the chime. I assumed that since it posts it simply needs a reinstall or at worst a hard drive. Now I have discovered that this thing will not boot from any medium that I can think of, I even pulled out my windows 7 test ssd and that didn't work. It gives me a similar kernel panic each time, and I've taken a couple pictures of me trying to boot it in verbose mode. I have since stripped it down to just the logic board, display, a known good stick of ram and a flash drive to try to boot and it still wouldn't work, I'm thoroughly stumped.

Any help would be appreciated, and I'm sorry if I put this in the wrong place or in some other way violated convention, I don't often come over the the forum side of this site.
