My 1999 Toyota Camry won't start after being parked for 10 minutes.
All accessories work fine, (radio, locks fan,signals etc) Anti theft has been bypassed. All fuses are working. The starter checks out fine. Could not find any broken electrical wires
What can I possibly check?

Did you try a jump? If this is the original battery, then it may just be too weak to start but has a little juice for accessories. Try a new battery. You got your money out of the old one.

Won't crank? Cranks but won't fire up? Please clarify.
Is there fuel in the tank? Is the fuel filter dirty? Is fuel getting to the cylinders? Is there fire (spark) getting to the spark plugs? Is the timing belt broken?
you might be tempted to think this last tip is beyond the realm of possibility, but some years ago, my '86 Camry sat in my driveway and wouldn't start (as if all the plug wires were disconnected, it just cranked and cranked) and I had it towed to the dealer. The timing belt had apparently lost some cogs in the belt and just sat there unmoving, and had to be replaced.
