Couple of options...

Nothing at all, no clicks, no sounds, no anything is probably a safty switch. One on the cluch perch, one on the kickstand. If they are malfunctioning, it can cause issues. The neutral switch is tied in with these somewhat as well, so it's important that it's checked as well if the other 2 seem fine.

It could also be some oxidization on the starter button. Pull the pod off the bar, and clean the connections on the button.

If you hear a click but no starter turning... it's probably a low battery or bad connection issue. Might also be the starter relay, but that's pretty rare.

If you dont' have a volt meter, I highly suggest you pick one up. Even walmart carries them for like $10 or so.
