Make sure your battery is fully charged. Try turning it on plugged in. Try using a different battery if you have one - If you don't have another battery and the one you have is old, it may need replacing. Turning on and then shutting off sounds like battery problems to me

I have another HTC Touch with a very similar problem. I think mine is due to minor water damage though (water balloon hit my pocket, unlucky huh?). It's been dead for about 4 months. It "MIGHT" turn on after a few weeks leaving it alone, then reach Smart Mobility screen and then turn off... permanently for a few weeks.

When I normally try to turn it on, I can hear a distinctive high-pitched noise coming out of the back, it'll stay like that until I rip the battery out.

Every few weeks I hope to get it booted long enough to maybe flash a new ROM, or IPL/SPL. I don't know what to do with it. Maybe some boot file or the hard drive corrupted due to the water damage. No light, no response from other batteries, no light via USB cable, just a slight high pitched noise. To this day, it is still dead.
