Hello, I have a old 2007 MacBook Pro 17 A1229 and it has a issue where when you turn it on it just displays a white screen. I have tried to reset the SMC and boot into the install disc but when attempted it does not show any results. The MacBook just continues to display the white screen without it restarting or showing any response. I hope someone could help, thanks.
That Macbook Pro series was quite plagued with GPU issues and that may be the issue you’re facing. That said it wouldn’t harm checking the hard drive and trying replacing that with a known good one, or or if you have one you can try if it boots from a Usb stick with Os or Os installer in it.
