While Reinstalling the OS after a Factory Reset the Laptop was unplugged and died. Now it shows 0 signs of life. I've tried key combinations while plugged in, and got nothing at all. No lights, screens, anything. Curious if anyone has had a similar issue and found a solution.
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

It's likely that the Mac was in the process of installing internal firmware, and now it can't start up. Luckily, Apple already thought about this, and has a recovery mechanism available.
You will need to revive or restore the firmware, using a second Mac running macOS Catalina or later. For details, see these articles:
