How do I reset MacBook Air when it won't turn on

2 days ago I was using my MacBook as usual, I had a video going on and my phone was plugged to charge from MacBook. I stopped the video and go away for 20 min, when I returned my MacBook was dead I thought I put its charger but didn’t respond. I tried to reset and other things but didn’t help. I went to the Apple Store they told me they have to change something inside and it costs a ridiculous amount of price. I got the computer at that price 3 years ago. Since my warranty ended, I am left with a dead MacBook. Thanks Apple

And what did they say you had to have replaced?

Thank you for your suggestion of course I know I can purchase a new device. My problem is sourcing from the high inflation and how it affects the repairing cost. My MacBook is 2020 model m1 I got it for 20k Turkish lira, now repair costs the same and a new device is 45k. It’s not easy to purchase randomly since I wasn’t expecting such a breakdown with my MacBook. All I can say is I wish they’ll make repair costs cheaper or something or build stronger MacBooks that can have a life of at least 5 years.
