I recently picked up a 2009 13-inch MacBook Pro from Facebook Marketplace. When I turned it on, it showed the Apple logo with a loading bar but quickly switched to a white screen. I found some advice online suggesting I unplug and reconnect the battery, but that didn't help. What other troubleshooting steps can I try?

You might want to try rebooting it in Recovery mode. It's possible that the drive is wiped clean, and you just need to reinstall macOS to get it working again.

That actually did something lol, thank you very much!
