My guess is that your battery is drained or dead. The gegegegege sound is probably the solenoid clicking quickly.
My advice is to charge your battery overnight, then check it with a voltmeter before reconnecting it to the car.
From my limited experience, when the starter goes bad, it makes no noise whatsoever. You're probably dealing with a dead or drained battery, perhaps even a bad alternator.
How long was the car sitting before you attempted to start her? How long did you leave the charger on the batt??
Did you try to jump start your car?
What is orielly anyway? :lol:
