Anyone had an MBP A1211 15" not respond to startup key commands eg boot from DVD or Target Disk?

If I hold down alt key, I bascally get a mouse pointer come up but not the disk icon to select etc.

If I hold down C key, every disk/dvd I try to boot from basically tries to read then spits the DVD out of the MBP.

If hold T, target disk mode screen never displays.

Keyboard is working fine and I have tried external keyboard. I've done all the usually reset pram and SMC reset.

I would recommend taking this to an Apple Store. I fear something pretty low-level is wrong that they would be best to diagnose and fix. Good luck! – bispymusic Mar 2 at 20:13
