2011 21.5 Mac won't start. Just clicks

iMac won't start up fully. It just clicks once and then nothing. No screen or boot sequence is detected. What could be the problem?

Too old for Apple to repair. You might try contacting a third party repair shop to take a look.

Mid 2011 iMac suddenly won't turn on...? Hi, I wonder if you could help me? I have a Mid 2011 iMac and that suddenly yesterday wouldn’t turn on. There is no start up sound, the screen doesn’t light up... nothing... the only thing I can hear when I plug it in even without pressing the button is a very slight click noise... every...I'm not sure... maybe 30 seconds... give or take... Any ideas what could be happening and what the clicking noise is? Is there anything I am able to try in order to get it going again? I am also not afraid to take the computer to pieces, I have taken other thing apart before... Also, if I can't get it to work am I able to extract the data off the hard drive? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! 😁👍

Sounds like a hardware failure.
