My macbook air won’t turn on or charge.

My macbook air won’t turn on and the charger doesn’t light up. I’ve tried a different charger and it still doesn’t charge or turn on.

Any suggestions?

MacBook Air 13", OS X 10.10

I've personally seen a few lockups on a Mac notebook where it was in a state where it wouldn't respond to any inputs to turn on/off, or otherwise work normally. The cases were a little different each time, with one where I heard a faint electronic buzz while the other time I didn't but it was getting rather hot. The only thing that seems to allow recovery for a lockup is removal of all power, which may not be easy and may require special tools.
