Is battery good? Good under load? So many possibilities but start at battery.
battery fully charged, still will not turn over, not even a chug.
alarm may be culprit. Use key in drivers door and turn to lock then unlock. Try starting car. or unhook the negative battery cable from battery for a few moments, reattach, alarm will sound, put key in drivers door and turn it. Alarm will stop, and you can start car. Cheers
I have the same problem, you can hear it trying to start but it just won’t go. :(

I had the same problem just now with my ES300. I removed the battery to access the starter and took a long bar, placed it on the starter and hit the other end with a hammer a couple times. I did this in a couple different areas of the starter. Put battery back in and car started right up.
Took local garage 5 minutes to diagnose crank but no-start. The ignition key. Simply worn down, car security interpreted it as incorrect key. Tried the other key and it worked well.
