Inspiron 17R makes clicking sound and wont turn on
My laptop, Inspiron 17R, started making a clicking sound when I pressed power button. I'd shut it down and try again a few times and could sometimes get lucky to get it to load up, unfortunately now its not loading up at all. I've tried removing battery and putting it back. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Sounds like it's most likely a bad mainboard -- try powering up without a battery. If it will but won't with the battery installed, the battery is bad -- if it won't boot on AC only, chances are the mainboard is bad.
