MacBook A1181 (13 inch 2.163GHZ) Hi, Eternally grateful if anyone knows what the issue with my A1811 MacBook may be. Not starting up after PRAM reset - screen just stuck on apple and loading icon. A few points:

  • start up issue coincided with me putting CD into recently repaired disc drive
  • unable to attempt start up without power cord as i am aware the battery requires replacement
  • power cord lights up green.
  • no unusual sounds Thanks, Anita anitarynlds01@gmail.com

First, kick that disk out and tell us what it is. Hold down the the mouse button on start up. Next tell us why you are trying to start up from the disk drive. What is happening with your internal hard drive. Next tell us exactly what that optical drive disk is and where it came from and what color it is. UPDATE It’s a really simple replacement, no need to pay someone to do this: MacBook Core 2 Duo Hard Drive Replacement
