Will not start only a single click

I was called to fix the car I don't know what was done previously. But what I heard is that the car has stayed here for a longer time and during this time many mechanics and electrician have been invited even from closer and far states just to start the car but to no prevail. The owner of told me that they told him ECU is bad that's why the security light was blinking which he purchased a new one. But the car still didn't start. Well, I didn't notice anything like security light flashing. The scan tool I connected was not communicating. I check for current at the obd port just as you showed me and there was current there. But no continuity.

I later took the ECU to my laptop engineer friend for a bench test. When he did, he told me that the ECU have many shorts and I have to replace it with a new one instead of repairing.
