Q: Macbook A1297 won't turn on

HI everyone, I'm trying to fix moms macbook Pro A1297 2010 model . Was working fine and then one day it wouldn't turn on.  I've tried the basics that I could do so far , here's what I've done and found out .

 

1. With the charger in ( glowing green) I push the power button and I can hear/ feel things spinning . The light on the front right facing panel glows white . And every so often fades out and back on .

2. I Removed one of the rams ( and the other ) and tried each one in the other slot . When I turned it on with no ram in it I got the beeping alarm going on and off.

3. If I hold the power button down til I hear/ feel it shut down , then hold "shift, control, option and the power button together , I get the green light on the " caps lock " button light up .

4 . If I unplug the charger , hold the power button for 10 seconds , keep,holding the power button and plug the charger back in , release and push power the fans kick in at Mach 1 speed like a jet taking off , run for 20-30 seconds then shut down, then turn on and run then turn off..

 

5. Tried the SMC reset and PRAM reset and still nothing .

 

Anything else I can try or does anyone have a idea
