[DuoList] GLOD Help-Please

There were some Green Light of Death (GLOD) posts in the past, but
I've yet to hear about this series of symptoms:

The machine suddenly freezes. I hard reboot (Command+Ctrl+Power). The
hard drive is having a tough time spinning but it does, boots up to
the desktop and then just freezes again. I try to hold down the power
(on/off) button but no go so I do the hard reboot again. This time, I
hear the hard drive spinning but the screen doesn't turn on. Some 10
minutes later, still no startup but the HD is still spinning.

Next, I do something stupid. I unplug the AC Adapter and I hear a
nasty loud screech from the HD and all is silent and I get the GLOD
(Green light continuously lit). I next take out the battery and
everything turns off (duh).

What next? I don't know how to really diagnose it and I heard there's
a place online you can send your PB to so that they can fix any bad
fuses. Anyhow...what should I do? I unplugged everything and took out
the Li-Ion battery. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
