Strange starting behavior

Hey all
Just now, I sat down as usual behind the wheel and cranked the starter. Dome light comes on as I open the door, all the usual lights. The instant I turn the key on, everything goes black. Then the idiot lights start randomly flashing, a relay up front goes tik-tik-tik-tik, but no start. The dome light and door lights are flashing. I run to get the 10mm key to disconnect the battery, and leave it disconnected for 5 mins. Reconnect, try again. Same thing, now the cooling fan starts running. Have I fried my ECU? Dead battery to weak to crank? I haven't driven it in about 24 hrs, never had a drain on the battery before. Wonder if I could jumpstart it before I hafta call the warranty folks?
Thanks,
Leif
