Yamaha receiver makes clicking sound on standby

My Yamaha receiver HTR 5730 was lying dormant (and unplugged) for a
month while I was away. When I came back and powered it on,
pressing the standby/on button makes the receiver do a
clicking/ticking sound and it does not turn on.
I tried searching for this phenomena, but couldnt find any help
online. Can anyone suggest something?
Disconnect the speakers. If the clicking continues, the receiver needs
repair. If the clicking stops. Check for short circuits in the speaker
wire -- bare wire should not be able to touch ANYTHING except the
proper speaker wire terminal.

Unfortunately, the 5730 was a lower-end Yamaha, in the 129.00 retail price
class, several years old now and not worth a serious repair effort, except
if saving it from the landfill is important to you.
