What is the problem with my not booting MacBook?
friend gave me a black core duo macbook but it doesn't work. when the power button is pressed it boots up with a white screen and after a while has a screen with a flashing folder with a question mark on it.
Is this a good question?

If you can connect your laptop to an external display, please do so and see if anything shows up.

Adam, it doesn't boot.

I'm pretty sure that with the switch to Intel (I know this is true of my Black MacBook of the next generation up and my Retina MacBook Pro) came the muting of the startup chime if the speaker volume was muted at shutdown. So it could still be booting and just be a display issue.
