MacBook Core Duo - only fan turns on.
I've got a A1181 1.83. I was having some kernel panic shutdowns for a week or so, and now when I push the power button, only the fan powers up (at least, that's the only noise I hear). There's a faint, very brief flash on the screen, a bzzt bzzt sound (I'm not sure where this sound originates), then the fan comes on. Battery charges, green light on charger is on.
Is dit een goede vraag?

Sorry I can't offer a solution, but I am experiencing this exact same thing. The sound your hearing is the cd rom drive turning on, and then after that just the fan hums and the sleep light stays on. I've reset the pram and SMC, swapped out ram and hard drives to no avail. Love to hear if you find anything out

I just bought a MacBook with exactly the same symtomps from ebay. I bought it for parts but - naturally - i try to revive it first.
I'll report on my findings ;-)

I figured it was the CD drive I was hearing, but I wasn't sure. I've reset everything that can be reset. I'm about ready to sell this on eBay for parts myself.

Well, whaddaya know -- one of the RAM slots is bad. It booted up fine with the right one empty. Thanks! Now what?

Just a follow-up: I just installed a 2gb RAM chip in my one remaining good RAM slot (purchased from NewEgg) and it works just fine!
