Chosen Solution

I have a MacBook Pro 2008 model. It does not seem to switch on. The battery charges and the light on the MagSafe comes on (orange when charging and green when charged). I have tried it without the battery but still nothing. I opened it up and noticed that while I have the charger plugged in, when I press the power button, the fans move for a split second. Every time I press the power button, the fans do the same thing. I tried removing the ram and pressing the power button expecting some beeping as there was no ram inserted, but still nothing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Let shoot for a spontaneous reboot. Disconnect the mag-safe. Disconnect the battery, Press and hold the power on, button for ten seconds. Reconnect the battery, the the mag-safe snf if the logic board is good, you should get a spontaneous reboot.
