another vote for the battery.
Like what TeamZ says, clean your battery connectors, probably alot of crud on the connection.

If he pop started the car then it cant be the cables, he had enough current for the pcm, fuel pump, ingnition ect to pop it. Battery could still be low, or dead starter ect.

do you have two keys for your car? if so try the other key, my did the same thing when I tried to start it, it wouldn't do anything, tried it like 20 times, and then finally got it to start, then about a week later it did it again at home, tried my other key, and it started right up, I guess that little electrode or whatever it is on the key got wore out or something, but now I have no problems at all...
