Flat battery possibly. Please expand on car won't start, does it turn over? Does the immobiliser light extinguish before trying to start

Hi I've had this same thing twice with my car both times have been when the battery had either been fully dead or low so I assume it's a common thing.

Thank you, I don't know what to think: This warning lights without the starter even running so that the battery is mostly unloaded! It looks to me like a random contact failure (or establishment) which causes the controller to inhibit the ignition. When this fault is cleared, the starter runs with a regular powerful torque, so there is no sign of a wick battery. I'll be glade to only know how to tell the controller to stop being too clever and to let me start the engine

Could be a bad earth somewhere?

On my old MK1 Bravo when the earth went, all of the dials went crazy and nothing would happen when I turned the key. Had a new earth put in and it sorted all of it.
