Computer won't turn on...

I have a Dell Inspiron 600m. It is less than a month old.  It has been working perfectly and then I came home today and it won't even turn on.   I have left at 12 and the computer was on and working perfectly. I came home at about 3 and a clicked the mouse to try and get it to wake up but it didn't. It wouldn't respond to anything so I had to turn it off.  Everytime I try to turn it on the little lights turn on but then turn off within 5 seconds or so.  It doesn't even start to boot up.  I'd be very thankful if someone could give me any help with this problem. Thanks!

    I'd call Dell first and get help troubleshooting since this is a brand new computer.

    Reseat the memory, drives, any cards and the battery. If it still won't start up, call Dell - it needs repair.

    could be a bad battery pack, was it left on while you were gone and did you check the energy savings mode in the screen saver, if after recharging battery fully, would it still shut down without bootup?
