Post will not start nor crank

Folks am new to the Forum and need ideas. My 2001 Volvo C70 auto, Turbo, 2.3 L, convertible with 107,000 miles will not start.
My friend took my car for a test drive and 10 miles down the highway he heard some noise and lights came on and car stopped and will not start again. The car was towed back to my garage and all i hear is a click noise when i try to start it. All electrical components still works, timing belt is still intact, all the belts are still there but car will not start. Folks any ideas.
I have never had a starting problem but a week ago I fixed and reinstalled my ABS module. I mistakenly left the ignition key in the on position while reconnecting the positive end of battery and the car jumped and afterwards my battery could not power my car anymore so I got another battery from the junkyard and car worked fine afterwards.

Take vehicle to autoparts store, most have a battery/starting system tester. They do a diagnostic test for free! Advance Auto, AutoZone, O'Rielley's, CarQuest, PepBoys etc. Does the battery read 13.5 - 14 volts?

Thanks for responding.
Battery is testing at 13.5 volts and i added my jump box for boost.
I am suspecting the starter could be the culprit because it only hear the usual starter click when the try to starter the car. I will replace starter and let you know

Check all cable connections @ starter & both cables from battery for corrosion, inside & out!
