If the battery was weak then everything else would dim or shut off when attempting to crank. If this is not happening then the solenoid is bad, the starter motor has a dead spot (one of ours had this issue) or the ignition switch/neutral safety switch have an issue. I'm voting for the starter solenoid/motor though.

Once I had a problem where a C Class wouldn't start (battery good but no crank). On questioning, I found the driver had locked the trunk with the key. I found the trunk lock was overlocked by about 90 degrees. I turned the lock anticlockwise 90 degrees and then the starter function normally.

Go figure!
