Help with macbook air

Hi, my Macbook Air will not turn on. The charger light is a very light green but it does not seem to be powering up the laptop. I have tried a reset SMC but that does not seem to work.

MacBook Air 11", macOS 10.12

Read and follow all the steps, including troubleshooting the power adapter. It won't hurt to Reset the System Management Controller again, or as often as you deem necessary until you give up.

Keyboard not working on MacBook Air (M2) 2022 My Air is only a few weeks old and all of a sudden the keyboard stopped working. An external keyboard works (USB-C connection and bluetooth), but the internal keyboard is non-responsive except for the power button. I ran diagnostics and everything reports back okay. I went through the Apple suggestions - slow keys isn't checked, the correct keyboard input is selected, etc. Software is up today. Is the quality really suffered that much? First, my two year old MacBook Pro dies ((display went out and it was $$$ to fix it despite it being a clear displaygate problem -- all of the textbook symptoms were met) ) and now a few weeks old M2 Air is not working? Any suggestions on fixes other than trying to find an open slot in the Genius Bar? Disappointing to say the least. Thanks in advance.
