sounds like your alternator died and took the battery with it.

Trickle charge it AND jump it and see what happens. But I would agree with the alternator being shot.

You have no battery power in your car. The battery is dead. End of story. Take the battery out and have it tested to see if it is shot. If not, charge it.
If it runs down again you have either:
A) A dead alternator
B) A leak in your electrical system (ie. A poorly installed electrical component like a stereo or alarm system which is draining the battery after you shut the car off)
C) You are a complete dumbshit noob who leaves his lights on and then wonders why his car won't start in the morning in which case you shoud:

A) Find a railroad crossing and push you and your car into the tracks and wait for a train.
B) Take a stroll on the freeway.
C) Push you and your car into the ocean off a short pier

hope this helps.

dude if nothing is working electrically in ur vehicle check the main fuse. sometimes after jump-starting a car you overload the main fuse and it pops...check that first!

yes you can jump it, it might start, but a bad , very bad alternator will shut everything down. have it check as well as the battery and double check your ground wires.
