    Try wiggling the battery terminals for a start.. Let us know what happens then.

    From the sound of it, you've reversed the polarity on the jump battery when you connected it to your flat battery....if this is so, then it probably was the alternator short circuiting. Probably caused other damage as well which probably will mean getting your car home will be a tow job.
    I hope I am wrong.

    As above, sounds like u reversed polarity the jumpers and possibly have rooted the battery itself and blown fuses all round the shop. You could have possibly even killed the ecu and bcm aswell. Thats if infact it was reversed, if u think otherwise then maybe ur starter blew out a winding or somthing

    If you still have your dash lights then I would be checking your starter motor and or fuses and hope that that is your problem otherwise it may mean bigger and badder problems
