The starter draws a very large amount of current, so a slightly drained battery will not be able to get the engine to start. Get a jump from someone and see if that works. If it does, drive your car straight to an auto shop and have them test your starting and charging system (battery, starter, and alternator)....

Chosen Solution Hi All, I inherited a Nexus 5 D820 after a friend lost it, and when they got it back it would no longer turn on. I pried the back off and discovered that the battery cable connected and the chip that it connects to are both damaged.
