It's Bricked

I don't remember a blue screen, but I had one that did the grey screen and wouldn't enter the loader. Could be a a variety of hardware issues or even software issues. Take it to an Apple store for the best diagnosis.

it gets passed the apple logo and the ajax spinner gif. If that helps any for you to diagnose. We do not have any apple stores in turkey... – Sevki Dec 28 '10 at 16:08
@Sevki: Have you tried the boot loader? Hold down option. – Josh K Dec 28 '10 at 19:11

  • Hold down the Option key - does it enter the boot disk chooser screen?
  • Put the OS install CD in the drive, and boot holding down the C key. Does that work? If so, use Disk Utility to run a scan on the drive.
  • Can you plug in an external monitor? What happens when you do?
