    Welcome to Priuschat !!

    Some additional background history might help... how many miles?

    When was the last time the vehicle functioned properly?

    Have you confirmed the 12v battery is good?

    Now might be a good time to find a hybrid compatible OBD2 code scanner and post the results here for further help.

    Sounds like the 12V battery is dead.
