Oh no Mary Ellen! The same exact thing happened to me in late December, new year's eve to be exact... precisely a week and a half before midterms. Yikes! It, like yours, continued to make the slight buzzing noise audible when the unit was turned on, but absolutely nothing happened.
I sent it back and got it exactly two days before exams started (needless to say I had no life for that time), and though I was never given a very explicit reason why this might occur, one suggested one was that it may have been due to my flash card being inserted when turning on the unit. I don't know how valid this is, and I don't know if this was your case, but it was just one of many things which convinced me to remove all removable storage before powering on. Anyway, very sorry for the inconvenience you're suffering.
