It would help if you told us what a "just just" is.

Maybe disconnect the battery for a while to reset it if it is an alarm issue?
Have you checked the fuses and fusible links?

Yeeeaaaaahhh, I'm with Beav on this one - we need better clarification before we can help you out.

But if everything seems okay, and the engine just won't turn over, you probably just need a new battery.

i'll try disconnecting the battery, i had checked the fuses and they were fine, see the problem is the key will go into the slotbut it wont rotate anywhere from locked, not even into accesory

You might wanna check and see if the steering wheel is locked. Jiggle the wheel and turn the key and see if it unlocks.
