he other day, about a week ago, my car was all frozen on the driveway, so i thawed it out, put it in reverse than parked in my garage, about two hours later i tried to move it, but it just didn't turn on. The battery is fine, it just doesn't start, and theres not a single noise to it either when i turn the key.
I can't get it in neutral, it's stuck in park, in terms of power all my lights turn on, but engine power no
 
How did you thaw your frozen auto loose from the driveway? With flowing warmer water? When you had the car unfrozen, you got in it and it started up O.K.? Then, while it was still dripping liquid water, you backed it into an (enclosed?) garage? Even if the garage has a door on it, it probably isn't sealed in such a way as to prevent the temperature *inside* to reach pretty much the same temp. as outside, which, if it was well *below* freezing, the liquid water which just might have been clinging to the joints of the shifting linkages and frozen them so as to make the shifting lever unusable. Maybe you didn't 'quite' place the lever in 'Park' where the contacts would have been made for routing the current from the battery, through the ignition switch, and on to the starter and the distributer coil. eh? If your vehicle is "frozen" inside of your garage, try thawing out essential moving parts to allow you to "line up" everything with a good hot-air hair drier.
 
try to start it in neutral . check your cable connections. do you have any power at all?
