Question Acer Aspire 7739 won't turn on

[iLikePizzas]

This laptop won't turn on. It worked fine yesterday.

When booting, the power light turns on, then after about 3 seconds it completely shuts down and a ticking noise can be heard. The screen stays all black.

The charging light does work, and the laptop also doesn't work when removing the battery and plugging it in the charger.

Seems to be a hardware issue?

Anybody got any ideas?

Might be the hard drive failing
unplug the HDD and try powering on, if the BIOS screen or a white cursor blinking or "no boot device" is visible then

replace the HDD with a new one
