A scanner wont help you there. It is only good for driveability problems, not basic electrical problems. It sounds like your starter is dead. Possibly the solenoid isnt working or the starter itself.

check the end of the battery cable at the starter end. where the end is crimped on, for excess corrosion. I have seen this problem many times. A new end can be installed, or complete cable assy.
