1998 Toyota Tacoma Won't Start

Our Toyota Tacoma SR5 wont start. It is a 2.4L, and around 175k miles. The battery is charged, but it has no sound when the key is turned. The panel lights go on, and the door chimes with the key in the ignition and the door is open, and the headlights work. My question is: What could be the issue or problem? We recently replaced the serpentine belt, and the spark plugs and had an oil change. The truck ran fine, until yesterday. I went out once yesterday to and from then an hour later when I went to go out again, no sound. No turn over, no want to start, noises, etc. Any ideas???
Sincerely.
J&J
