My Core 2 Duo MacBook will turn on, but not display anything.
Hello,
My brother gave me his old 2.13GHz White Core 2 Duo MacBook.
It was stored in the garage for years. When I turn on the system, it will make 2 quiet boops, turn off, turn on again, then make 2 more quiet boops, before reading the install DVD. The display is not working. I can hear the fans, so I know the system isn’t completely dead.
Will I need to replace the inverter cable, or could it be another issue all together? Thanks for your time.
I can provide more details, such as serial number, etc.
Questa è una buona domanda?

I looked at my logic board and it is a 820-2496-A logic board. I also cannot see a pram battery to replace. I can post photos if needed. What should I do now? Thanks for your time.

@grhmhome - I guess you have a Santa Rosa system not the standard one. Check @mayer update.

Looks like my macbook doesn’t have a pram battery. I got this mac as a refurb back in 2011 before giving it to my brother then he gave it back recently. I wonder if the person who originally refurbed it swapped some of the parts? Thanks for your help. I’m going to abandon the project.
