03 Maxima no start issue

So my 03 se 6MT wont start all of a sudden. When I turned the key to start it, I just lost all power. No lights come on at all on the dash. But theres power to the rest of the car like the alarm and lights and all that. Just no ignition power. Any ideas of where to start checking?

Thanks

Starter solenoid. New starter needed.

In the meantime, you can try tapping the starter with a screwdriver or wrench to see if it will show you some love.

Are you sure that your battery is fully charged? It could also be the ignition switch.
