hello,new (used) to minis

HI, I'm new to this site and I'm having a mini issue, I just got a new to me mini. 2003 mini chili red 71k original battery just died, replaced. Now it won't start, turns over, checked plugs, no spark, not wet, reset ecu, no luck, dealer suggested jump start, nothing, dealer also said maybe dmu might need resetting, Help!! worse part is I've only made 2 payments . My mini (van) just ain't the same! If anybody has any ideas , suggestions Please help! Thanks

Try checking the following fuses in fuse panel 3 next to the strut tower:
F01, F02, F03 and F04. These fuses are for the Engine Control Module, if it is not working the engine will not start.
