Laptop dead - help!

I'm posting this from my PDA. Bloody laptop died.

Just white screen

Makes 'drive start up attempt' wheezing noises...

Tried starting with

T held
R + held
Mouse clicker held
CD eject held

ALL no joy, all produce Mac startup chime but only a white screen and NO Mac logo or boot up.

I tried a USB Palm back up started by pressing go on the hot sync cradle.. But no joy...( I daydreamed that it was only the screen that was broken but feel that proves it wasnt)

I don't think a CD is stuck in it and the grim thing is the whirring noise comes from the opposite (LH) side...

Hmmmmmm!

Needless to say I am depressed about it. But managed to chear myself somewhat up by backing my palm diart and contacts from this PDA to my studios mac.

Any tips? (bear in mind I can't get the CD drawer open)

Thanks

P.S. Al is it OK if I send it up to you to pass onto your Apple service Center chums on Monay if I can't get it working?
