Hi there,
no expert but have you tried these options?
-plug the "system install" pendrive
-reset the SMC
-reset the PRAM

That's the "White Screen of Life". A back screen is death. You most likely have a bad hard drive. Disconnect the hard drive and see if it will boot from your original installation DVD. If so replace the hard drive.

Depends on how faulty it is really, one way to find out is to connect it to your macbook with a new HDD.
use: [linked product missing or disabled: IF107-097] and see if u can recover some data
