I have a Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop that will not startup. When I press and release the power button I hear a single click in the vicinity of the battery (even when the battery is removed and I am on AC)and the LEDs flash on the off but nothing else happens except the power LED stays lit. This all started when the laptop was left on overnight. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

I've only had one similar experience with a Dell, and it turned out to be a loose hard drive. Try removing and reinserting it. Also, remove the cover on the bottom and make sure the memory is firmly seated.
