Hello, new solution here.

My MacBook Pro early 2008 does not start up, i spent two days trying all methods i found online, was saturday and sunday, finally monday i went to my friends' store, they repair computers and videogame box for bar, they found that the two memory cards (2 gb) does not stay properly in their place, he put a little bit of plastic foam (the one for packaging) on both of them as shown in the picture, than the mac starts up perfectly.

Also you can check if the contact parts are loosing their golden color, if they are nearly silver in color it means they are consumed and wouldn't make good contact.

I hope your computer start :)
