Question Can't won't start - has power, but radio doesn't work (video included))

Last week my check engine light came on, but the car ran fine. I went out of town for 5 days and when I came back yesterday the car wouldn't start. It has power, but the clock was reset and the radio won't come on. It makes a fast clicking sound when I turn the key.

Here's a quick video of the sound it makes when I try to start it.

Anyone know what could be wrong? It's a 2007 with about 35k on it.

Dead battery, garaunteed. Jump it, if the battery recharges and holds a charge youre good, but it sounds like probably a bad battery if it was only 5 days. (Unless something was left on in the car that drained it)

It's the original battery. I checked a lot of fuses and didn't see anything bad.

Also my windows go down, but not up, so they're stuck open at this point.

I'll jump it later today.
