probably a overstretched cable pull, or defective latch, i had the same problem with my truck. pull hood relese a couple times, and go to hood, give it a love tap with your fist abouve the latch ontop of the hood, if that dont work, you will have to go underneath your volvo and release it by hand with a screwdriver, try and lift the latch over the catch

It's possible that it's the fuel pump relay, bad computers or a host of other causes. The first thing I would do is to check fuses #'s 4 and 6. Rotate them in the holder as sometimes they get corrosion on them that hinders good contact.
You can put in a jumper wire from 4 to 6 and that should turn the pumps on and you can then start the car if the relay was the problem. Don't drive around like this as the pump will be on all of the time and it's not safe to have them in this state in case of an accident.

Hi, it is most likely a battery or starter problem, first try to jump start (even though you have a charged battery it still could be shorted), if it still wont start try tapping on the starter motor with a hammer while someone holds the key in the start position (a flat spot or shorted starter will usually start working in this case) if it starts you should change the starter. Worse case is that the engine is locked up and the starter is unable to crank the engine over, if the above wont work try turning the engine over by hand, using a socket on the crankshaft pulley bolt, if you are able to move the engine isn't locked up
