Default My IS 250 is dead, battery dead, can't open car

My 2009 IS 250 is dead, the battery died about 2 weeks ago and I've left my car in the garage since. Today I couldn't even use the remote key to open the car. I've also tried the backup key on the remote and it doesn't work. Not sure if the electrical is down as well. My cousin told me it may be the main fuse, but where exactly is the main fuse? I'm not car savvy, so if someone can direct me on where to locate the box, I'd greatly appreciate it. Or even identify what the problem might be. This sucks.! I also tried jump starting the car but no luck.

can you not put the key in the drivers door and turn the lock manually? you know, like in the old days before keyless entry

As for jumpstarting, it may just be so dead you have to leave it to charge. Chances are if it is, you just need to replace the battery.
