Exclamation 2003 Lexus ES300 [Not Starting] [HELP]

I had a new battery installed on my 2003 Lexus ES300 last year on 11/2013 (I can assume that the battery is good) at the dealership. This past weekend, my car would not start on in the morning and I've had to get it jump-started in order to get it started. After being jump-started that day, I drove it on three different occasions and it worked well. A day later, this morning, my car would not start again.

All the lights come on, there is no clicking noise, and it sounds like a humming noise when I try to start my car.

Has anyone on this forum ever experienced this issue? I would appreciate the help.

Assuming your battery is still good, check the connections.

I'm not sure if this may be of any help, but here's a picture of how the battery looks like. I can't tell if it's corroded, as I am a novice when it comes to cars.

BUMP: When I turn the key to the on position, you can hear a low buzzing/humming-like sound.
