ick. that doesn't sound good. weird that no one answered this one yet.

not sure if this is a situation that will call for your install disks or one where you'll reset the laptop (battery out, unplugged, hold the power button).

try searching the forums for something like "macbook won't start". hopefully someone will be able to answer this for you. i may do some poking around as well...

ooh, luckily i had my macbook user guide in my bag i bring to work...

one of the things it says for a laptop that won't start is to:
insert disk 1 of the install disks that came with the comp,
restart and hold C as it starts up,
choose installer > open disk utility,
follow instructions in first aid to see if the disk needs to be, or can be repaired.

worth a shot anyway.
