Default car wont start

did the search for a while.. having the exact symptoms as this guy
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ght=wont+start

heres the deal.. drove the car all day.. started it maybe 15 times over the day. Finally got in it again to move it and nothing. Its not the battery or starter. they key goes into the ignition but nothing lights up (dash lights etc etc) when i turn it over to ACC nothing comes on ( no radio or anything) when you turn the key more to the right to start it there is usually a click or some resistance before it starts. That resistance isnt there anymore and the key spins freely from acc to start. At first I thought it was the ignition but after talking to some people they think its the key cylinder. I was told to pull the key cylinder out and I should be able to start it with a screwdriver or something else. I took apart the whole underside of the dash and i can not figure out how to pull the ign switch out??? Also once i have it out how do you pull the key cylinder out? does it need a special tool. Its looking like I have to drop the steering column to get the ign out. Just wanted to get some more imput or maybe a writeup or something on how to do this.

HELP ME PLEASE.. windows have been stuck down for 2 days

Thanks
Blair

turn the key on acc and press the little ball and the cylinder should slide right out
