My MacBook will not turn on

My MacBook will not turn on. It seems completely dead, with no indication of power at all. It does not respond to the charger or pressing the power button or any key combination recommended. It is not very old. Is it possible that it just died for no apparent reason? It has never been dropped or bumped and has just been sitting on my desk. What’s the story?


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0
