Does not power on - when power button is pressed and system is plugged
in, it makes a click sound, the power, hdd, caps lock, and scroll lock
lights come on, then shut off after three seconds. I cannot access the
BIOS with Del, F1, or F2 during these three seconds, the fans do not
come on, and the monitor's backlight does not come on. Removing the
battery does not fix this. If I unplug it (with the battery installed)
before pressing the power button, nothing happens. It just sits there
like a brick. The system was sitting in the corner for about 1-2 years
before this, and I left it plugged in for about an hour, turned off,
before attempting to power it on.When it is plugged in, the battery
light flashes orange four times, then green once, then orange four
times...
Hi
Thank you for your query
The clicking noise you are hearing is one of 2 things
1) The CPU fan trying to turn but it cannot, therefore your PC comes on for a short period of time, overheats and switches off
2) The Hard drive is faulty and is causing a short, making the LAptop switch off
Either one will need further inspection by a qualified engineer
Please book laptop into a reputable PC shop for further diagnosis
