Default Problem Starting Accord Please Help....

I am new to this forum. I own a 94 Accord 2-dr LX 5-speed manual.

For the past couple of months I was observing a strange problem on my car during start:

Action:
When I crank the ingnition switch from OFF position (I) to intermediate position (before START).
Observation: The Dashboard lights up and acts normal.

Action:
Then I try to start the engine by cranking the ingnition switch further into START position.
Observation:
It used to start after some tries. But, when it does not start I dont even hear the engine sound trying to start. However, I hear some system (may be the starter) giving a buzzing/humming noise just behind the firewall near the clutch, when the ignition switch is cranker fully.


I was lazy to attend to this issue. Now the car doesnt start at all. All I hear is the buzzing noise hehind the firewall described earlier.

I have checked the battery & tried to Jump start but does not work.

I dont have any experience with working on cars. But, from my research with Chilton & internet - I am suspecting the following systems (:
* Starter
* Ingnition Switch
* Neutral Start Switch
* Some related relay
* Loose wiring (near starter)

If you think its the starter : How do I access and where is it located.

Thanks!
