OK, two answers: if the key is faulty, it usually starts, then stops after a short time, afaik. This is what I was told by a dealer, btw.

The starter is on the bellhousing of the gearbox.

i would check to see if the cables are ok going to the starter , fat chance but worth a try m8

If the starter motor is jammed try giving it a bang with something and jump start it, thats if youve tried to start it a zillion times. Ive used the wheel brace to bang the starter motor on my last car when this happens. Just a suggestion

u should hear a click or a clunk when turning the key if the starter is jamed , u wont just hear nothing also the electrics on the dash will dim a lot as the starter is still drawing power hitting a jammed starter normally does fix it though lol

I know if my alarm and immobiliser is on i dont get any dash lights. but thats aftermarket. lock the car and leave it for a min then unlock and try again.
