Wild guesses...
Either there is a simple problem with corrosion which can be fixed by
removing and replacing the cards fitted to the motherboard. (unlikely
but possible!)

OR.. more likely your power supply has a problem and does not have
enough kick on the +12 volt rail to start up the HDDs. (most likely)

Unfortunately the friendly splash screens hide any startup messages and
prevent you from seeing exactly where the post stopped.

As for repairers - no idea sorry.
