ARGH! Mac won't start up!

[Sam Sheezy]

Okay. I'll try to be as detailed as possible here.

I've got a 1st gen Intel MBP, and it won't start up. Ran fine last night, today go to start it up, I hear the optical drive spooling like it usually does, and the little white light lights up (the one that's on the button to open and close the screen) but I don't even get the gray screen. Nothing.

Tried doing an SMC reset and a PRAM reset. Didn't work. At this point I think something big is fried I really hope not because I'm a brokeass right now!

Any ideas? Thanks

See if it starts up off the DVD?

If I can find it.... but good plan.
