Default Need Help. Wasnt the Battery

OK, i posted like 2 hrs ago that my car wont start and didnt have power. Replies agreed that it was probably the battery. Well, the battery was dead, and now it has power, but the engine doesnt start. Still doesnt even turn over or click when im turning the keys. What could the problem be?

Check all the connections, maybe the starter. Do you get power in the car? Are you getting it to the starter? Will it crank if you jump the starter soleniod on the fenderwell? Is there power at the solenoid? If it's a stick have you tried pushstarting it?
