Mower died and now won't start

My mower died while I was mowing then wouldn't start it only clicks. I've checked the battery, it's fully charged. I would be more inclined to think it was a starter problem except it started just fine only minutes before. I'm not sure where to go from here. I would appreciate any help. Thank you

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

If you are sure the battery is full, turn the key, get the click, hold the key longer and give the starter a rap with a hammer or something able to do damage, without actually doing damage, if it starts, rebuild or replace the starter, if not come back for further electrical diagnosis, such as a bad connection, a relay went bad, the starter cannot be wacked into submission, etc. Lets not forget the battery can still be bad and the wiring also.
