[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1800122, member: 56379"] Agree with what was already mentioned. If this is a "new to you" computer...or you're trying to fix someone else's computer. Very possible it could have liquid damage. You could try booting from an external HD with a bootable OS that this 2008 MacBook Pro can boot from. If this doesn't work...then it's not an OS/software issue...and very likely a hardware issue. Which get's us back to possible liquid damage. - Nick [/QUOTE]
