Welcome to the forum!

Do you get any click at all from the starter when you turn the key?

Sure does sound like a dead battery to me, or a loose connection to the starter. Maybe try cleaning the battery terminals (not the posts on the battery itself) with a wire brush...

When you say you "checked the starter," do you mean that you changed it out w/ a working one?
