Do you hear a click/whirr when you insert the key into the ignition?
If not, your electronic ignition switch (EIS) may be faulty.
It's also possible damage may have been done jump starting the car. The 203 model you have is prone to problems jump starting.
This thread may help. The solution was a new starter motor.

Proper diagnosis is needed from a Mercedes specialist with Star diagnostics.
Where are you located in case someone here can recommend a specialist nearby?
