[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1643794, member: 98520"] If you previously fitted the SSD as an upgrade rather than replacing a failed hard drive, refit the old drive and see if the MacBook boots ok. If you haven't got the original HD, and If you still have an install DVD, either the original or Snow Leopard, and your optical drive is still functioning, try the following. Disconnect the SSD and try booting from the optical drive. Disconnecting the SSD first is wise as a failed drive can in some instances stop the optical drive or even an external bootable hard drive from booting. If you still have the same problem, there's a possibility of logic board failure. [/QUOTE]
