Hello!
I have a 2007 Macbook and after putting it in sleep mode overnight, it wouldn't boot up properly when I came to use it in the morning. The keyboard is functional (I can hear the noise when I press the volume buttons) and I hear the start up chime - but then the screen will go black and all the lights will go off. It will sometimes load up to the login screen and then the screen will go black. It doesn't switch off, I have to shut it down by holding the power button.
I've reset the SMC and PRAM and it has done nothing. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what the cause may be and how much I will expect to pay to fix it? As it is fairly old and the DVD drive is broken, I'd be tempted to buy another laptop if it works out to be very expensive to fix.
Any help or advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated!
