[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1022596, member: 46727"] It's hard to say exactly what's wrong with your MacBook. The whirring sound might be the hard drive or optical drive trying to spin up - most likely the hard drive. But the screen not lighting nor the POST chime sounding indicates something seriously broken. Your logic board may have decided to quit. Do you have your original install DVD along with you? You will need that to run some tests although if the machine won't boot at all, it may not do any good. I'm sorry I can't give you anything more definitive to go on. You may have to wait until you get home and can carry it on in to your local Apple store. Hopefully your machine is still under warranty or Apple care. Regards. [/QUOTE]
