Q: Macbook Air not turning on

My Mac air laptop no longer works. Yesterday I used it on the battery and it auto turned off when battery ran out. I connected the power cord and recharged it for at least hours. But now it no longer powers up. When pressing the power button, nothing works: no display light up, no fan or disk noise, no keyboard light, etc.

I already tried a few links about power issues on Apple support including: holding the power button for 10s, reset SMC etc, but still nothing works.

Do you have any ideas how to fix it?

I tried the steps listed there, but still no magic and absolutely no sign of coming up: no keyboard lit up, no fan sound, no display, no warm up, etc.
Any other ideas?
