[QUOTE="nickds, post: 1375617, member: 237557"] I have just been given a Macbook 2009 that wont turn on. When you press the power key you hear the normal boot chime but no picture appears. The laptop was given to me without any hard drive, so I installed a blank 250GB HDD. The HDD has no OS on it, and I am not sure how it is currently formatted as it is new. Even when I use an external screen and regardless of whether a HDD is present the macbook does not show any sign of life on the screen or external screen but still chimes. Any help would be great, Nick [/QUOTE]
