I have slightly the same problem with an old MacBook Core Duo:
Yesterday I inserted a DVD, the Mac could not find it so I tried to eject the disc. Because nothing happened, I held down the power button for several seconds to restart the computer while holding down the eject key. Nothing happened at all and since then I just have a white screen when trying to boot.
Holding down the button of the trackpad while starting the computer does not work either.
I'm not sure it's the HD because I don't hear any strange noise from from it.
What I've tried so far:
- waiting for several hours to see if it starts veerrryyyy sloooowwwlyyy
+
- holding down the eject / mouse-button while starting
+
- holding down "T" for target mode while starting
+
- holding down "alt" while starting
+
- I took out the RAM & the HD and put it back in
-
- holding down the eject / mouse-button while starting
+
Edit: Also tried this...
-
- holding down "T" for target mode while starting
+
1. Remove the power supply and the battery
+
2. Hold the power button for 10 secs
+
3. Put the battery back in, and the power supply as well
+
4. Power on while holding : Apple+Function+P+L keys all together …
