My mac has been quite frequently used up until around 2 years ago. I haven't used it since but I need to for my classes. I got it out of storage but now even plugging it it, there is no symbol of needing to be charged and it is unresponsive. I have tried shift+option+command+power but that did not work.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.3
If you leave a lithium-ion battery in an uncharged state for a long time, you may permanently damage it, even to the point where it won't take a charge. I'd suggest you take it to Apple for evaluation:

It sounds like a battery issue, as lithium-ion batteries need charging at least every few months for optimal performance.
I recommend taking it to an Apple-certified service provider for a professional opinion, and go from there. Hope your problem gets solved!

I had the same issue. Had not used an old MacBook Pro for over a year. Plugged it in, charger show orange/charging. After a few hours still dead. Got a different charger, and it charged.
