Answer» I tried to add a HARD drive by using a power plug that was hanging down from the power supply and when I tried to boot up it acted like it was stuck in the boot-up sequence. I think I had the jumper set wrong. So I hit the shut down button on the keyboard then removed the hard drive. Now, it won`t turn on-it is dead. I don`t know much about Macs so I was wondering if there is a start up PROCEEDURE for this condition? What are the two small buttons for that are under the MAIN start button? Any ideas? How could I have killed the computer just by trying to install a hard drive?
Its quite possible the computer isnt dead DUE to you trying to install a hard drive, i would say the cpu is old and needs to be replaced, you might as well replace the entire laptop. i know Apple products are expensive these days, however check your local craigslist or try ebay, you may be ABLE to find a decent computer that way, just watch out for scammers.
