Reset PRAM and SMC. There are several manuals around explaining how to do it for your exact model of macbook.

the front light is the HDD activity light I believe.

Have you removed all peripherals and tried to boot?

Also try a SMC bypass. Hold the power button while plugging in the charger then press the power button again.
