MacBook Air 13" 2014 Turned off randomly, won't turn back on.

Hi,

I was using my 2014 MacBook Air 13" (A1466) and the screen suddenly went black and the fans spun up to full speed. I have not been able to turn it on ever since, even after resetting the SMC and PRAM. When plugged in, the orange light on the charger comes on. What can I do to try fix my MacBook?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

MacBook won’t turn on Last night I went to turn on my MacBook and it turned on like normal, once I logged in, the screen went dark for a second and then shut off, so I thought maybe it died, I went to plug it in and let it charge, I went to turn it back on and I noticed a quiet squealing noise coming from where the fan is located, the laptop didn’t even turn on this time, the screen will light up but that’s as far as it will go and it will turn back off not even after a second it turns on. I think a part of it has to do with the fan but I’m not sure.

MacBook Air - Won't Turn On (But it is charging!) No damage, no dropping, no liquid etc. The power cable is green, so I know it is charging. Was working as per normal yesterday. Today, tried to turn it on and it wouldn't turn on. Did a reset, and it came on. Was able to access the desktop for around 60 seconds. Then it turned off again + won't turn back on. I have tried doing the reset options (SMC + NVRAM), but no luck. Can hear the fan turning itself on/off when I attempt to do the resets. Older model, so out of Apple Care Warranty. But looked after, with no damage. Local Apple Store has no appointments for a week. Any suggestions?
