Is it my starter cinlinder that went out? my radio was playing for about a hour yesterday and i forgot to start it up to charge and it did not start at all no starting sound, no attemping to start, nothing but the battery still had juice. i tried a boost and nothing. we tried ajusting the battery cables and tighting them , nothing. then we went under the car to start it and it started right up with screw driver and starter. went home cut it off and tried to start again and nothing but the radio was working and clock and all the lights come after it was cut off so i know its not the battery, what could it be?

Try disconnecting the battery for about 10+ minutes to see if that resets it. If the starter is bad, it is a coincidence.
