Try the logic board jumpers to see if the logic board is damaged or if it's your topcase/ribbon cable/connector or button

If the jumpers don't work your logic board is toast.

Are you getting any lights on the battery test?

by

yes.. but actually my battery damaged and still can use. ooh ya.. when i press the power button, i heard the weird sound inside my mac. what is that? is it mother board or ram or hardisk problems?

by

The weird sound is likely your machine checking the optical drive. See if you can boot from your original system installation DVD (C key). If so run Disk Utilities and let us know your results. Also, tell us about the battery damage and any other damage to the machine.

my mac cannot turn on! I try many times but it still havent change at all. T.T

Try removing the hard rive and starting from the system installation disk. Have you spilled anything on it? You say the battery is damaged, just what's the damage? What are the last three figures of your serial number?
