1999 Olds Alero , won't start . When I turn the key it just clicks once . Battery 1 month old . Could it be the starter ? And how hard is it to change ?

If you can charge the battery with an external charger (for about 4 hours), then start the car, the problem is probably the alternator. Using a voltmenter, measure the voltage of the battery when the engine is not running. It should be about 12 volts. Start the engine and measure the voltage again. Now it should be at least 2 volts higher than the first measurement.
