Receiver won't turn on

I was watching TV fine before I left for work, and when I came home, my receiver was off and wouldn't turn back on.

I pulled out my TV and receiver and made sure everything was plugged in, and it was. I unplugged it, and plugged it back in and when it's plugged in it makes a whirring noise (like a fan), but no lights come on, and it just won't turn on. I left it unplugged last night, hoping it would just need to chill for awhile, but I plugged it back in this morning with nothing but the whirring noise.

Last night I pulled the card out, put it back in, pressed the reset button, etc. and nothing.

Anything else I can try, or do I just need a new receiver? Kind of a pain.
