Imac will not restart

Older iMac (2016?) was powered down and will not restart.

I tried the usual fix, safe mode, but it stalls and recovery into Disk 1st aid, but that failed

Can you run Apple diagnostics? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202731


If that doesn't run or show problems my next suggestion would be to reinstall MacOS. Preferably from a Time Machine backup I recommend everyone have, or alternatively from Internet Recovery.
