Tribute won’t start

I must preface by saying that I am not at all automotively inclined. That being said, I have a 2008 Mazda Tribute that I replaced the battery in 3 months ago. The vehicle sat idle for about a week and a half and now will not start.

Have you tried jump starting it? Looks & sounds like a almost flat battery.

That was my initial assumption even though the battery is only a few months old. Tried jumping it anyway without luck. All electronics function properly.
