When you try to boot without RAM does the system beep or does the light on the front of the computer blink? Let you battery charge to 20% then try powering it on. Please let us know the results of both things. What are the last 3 characters of your serial number, please?

You have a motherboard/logic board issue if during POST/boot your computer is not screaming "Huston we have a problem." by beeping and/or the front light flashing, when no RAM is installed.

I have charged the battery almost completely. When I boot the computer without the ram, the white light on the front of the machine comes on and stays on without blinking. Same result as when I boot the machine with ram (just a single stick). The computer has never made any beeps at all. The last three digits of my serial number are VTG.

That's kind of what I feared. Is there anything I can do? Disasseble the computer, clean the board? It's like half the board has power...the fans and hard drive get juice, but not much else, it seems like.
