Default can't start my car

Hi
I left my for a week without turning it on and today I tried to use my car but couldn't start the car. The Battery is fine but the instument cluster does not light other than Airbag indicator. I checked all the fuses and all is fine.
I even tried getting a jump but it just keeps turning but never fires.
I have a call to my dealer but given the time of the year I don't expect to any replies by Tuesday. I even tried the 24 hr help line with no answer.

Any suggestions?

thanks
Mehrdad

PLEASE, everyone make a note to never jump start a Lamborghini of any sort. If you do a search on "jump start" you will see the damage that it creates.

Default More info

my car is 06 Gallardo.
I followed the owner's manual before trying to jump start my car. The manual didn't indicate anything that could cause damage.

Again, I don't think its my battery since the engine turns without any problem (a healthy crack) but the dashboard cluster does not light up at all. If I am not mistaken, I thought I could see the miles, time, etc. when I turn the key before going to start position?

Try reading the manual, you may have some insite there. You may have to reset your computer..Don't try this at home. Call your dealer. Good luck.

Huh? Not sure what to make of jump starting. The Diablo manual says ..."Avoid jump starts, do not have the car towed and do not use natural slopes for starting"

What the heck are you suppose to do then? Ha. I love the Italian mystery of it all.

Then it goes ahead and tells you how to jump start.

I'd have to say If I was stranded in the middle of no where I'm doin it.
