    How did you come to the conclusion the battery is good? Because it sounds pretty dead to me.

    So, did you end up trying to jump it and it still wouldn't start... or did you get that far??

    If you are 100% sure your battery is good, the very next step that I'd try would be to disconnect the negative cable for a short while (at least 10 minutes), then re-connect it and try to start it again....
