Help Please!!!
After 54k miles on my car, my battery was gone, so I had just replaced it with a new one a couple days ago. I just went to turn on my car just now, and all a sudden there is no power at all! NO RESPONSE WHATSOVER. strangest thing that has ever happened to me with a car. What could be wrong with my car???? Please help!

Something is staying on whent he car is off that should be off. Either that or your alternator is dead. But wouldn't the battery light come on for that one. Either get it towed to a shop/dealer or jump it and drive there (run risk of dying on way) and see what they say it is.

Be sure you have a good solid, clean connection on the battery terminals/cables.
Did you not try starting the car after you put the new battery in? Maybe something is wrong with it?
Or it could be as stated above, and you have a drain on the battery all the time, even when the car is off. This could be a short in the electrical system, or just a light being left on (or one that is stuck on).
You can get a multimeter and check the battery out yourself if you know how, or have a friend that knows how. If all that checks out OK and the car still won't start then we'll have to dig deeper.... or you can just take it to the dealer...
