MacBook Pro 17" Unibody 2009 will not start up!

All of a sudden, my MacBook Pro 17" (Unibody 2009) will not startup. Yesterday it worked fine. Today, nothing. The white light is on in the front and that is all. I can hear the drive spin up when I try to restart it. I get a black screen. I have reset SMC. Zapped PRAM. Tried Startup in Safe Mode. Tried Startup with install disk. Nothing works.

Any clues?
