Only powers on without Ram

Hi,

I have a problem with my old MacBook Pro a1260. It won't start... When I'm pressing the power button the fans are spinning for one second, if I'm holding the power button the fans are spinning for maybe 5 seconds. But when I remove the ram it makes the one no ram installed beeb.

I also tested other ram modules ( 2GB 800mhz) .

Maybe someone can help me with my good old MacBook:)

Best regards
