I got you PM.
If you've tried to jump start and the starter doesn't turn, I'd start with the solenoid on the fender.
If that doesn't fix it, it looks like a starter. No problem that you replaced the solenoid, I'd never replace a starter without planning on replacing the solenoid at some point in time
