Happened to me, it was my battery. Just jump start it or change battery should do it. Has it been standing?

So, what does happen? do the needles do a full sweep or just flicker a bit? does the engine turn over, and at what speed? if it doesn't, is there a distinct click noise? does the dash illumination or the lights go down in intensity massively, or does nothing much happen?
