SMC Reset not working

Earlier this week I reset the SMC successfully, so I know how to do it and tell if it worked. However, I woke up this morning and my MacBook Air (although fully charged) won't turn on, and SMC reset isn't working—lap top isn't making any sounds or screen visials, showing no signs of life.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

The unit may have hardware issues; before offering its carcass to the gods of recycle

one of the items that may work to awaken it from below threshold of consciousness

could be.. Try: an "..Extended SMC Reset - Unable to Power On MacBook.."~youtube.

Read entire text entered in first topic, below video. That maybe enough to make it go.


If other ideas are not forthcoming, issue may be 'hardware'. Seek an opinion from Apple.
