Please help, 2007 Camry not starting

When I try to start my 2007 Camry and turn the key, the dashboard lights come on with the oil symbol, the battery symbol and the check engine symbol. There is no click from the engine when I turn the key over, the lights just turn on. The headlights and tail lights work, so I'm guessing the battery is OK...does anyone know what could be wrong? My car has never had a history of problems; a few weeks ago I left a light on and drained the battery, but after jumping it then it's been driving fine for a few weeks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That drain might killed your battery. Have it check out, it's free.

Almost sounds like it could be either the alternator or the battery.

looks like 12V goes to ignition lock, but it doesn't go any further.
check ignition lock, maybe it's worn or some wires loose.
also check wires on starter (corrosion/oxidation)and see if there is some fuse for starter, not sure if such fuse exist but check fuse box anyway.

if lights work your battery is fine.

if anything you should try to jump start your car and have it charge your battery and go to advance auto or autozone and have them check out your battery and if its bad replace it cause thats what happened to mine so i switched to a optimum battery works like a charm

Check your battery. I had a similar problem in my Celica. If I turned the radio, headlights, and interior dome light, I'd see the dome light fading. Try as many electronics as you can and honk the horn. You might see one of them dim. If so then it's your battery.
