It's funny but I had similar problems after updating to 10.6.4. It was a hard
drive error. Took it to the genius bar and was informed that it was a hard
drive issue. Went home, looked for hd replacement on YouTube and less than 2
hours later had the machine going again. Worth the 15 minute vis
they are less likely to pop open but some bulging on the top you can
expect there is a chance in replacing them to get you mac going again,
i have done that in many different power supplies

If it is the model that can easily be opened to inspect the board it
is also the model that suffers from Capacitor Plague.
If ANY caps appear at all bulged or have a brownish mark on the top it
is trash I'm afraid.

popped open,
Sounds like the Logic Board. If it won't boot from CD that usually
indicates that the LB is having problems too.
