Apple's guidance for "no start" and "doesn't start all the way" is here:

If your Mac doesn't turn on - Apple Support

If your Mac doesn't start up all the way - Apple Support


For the "no start" situation, it is advised to hold the power button for 10 seconds to force a shut down if the computer might still be in the ON state.


All guidance ends with this: ❝ If your Mac still doesn’t turn on, it might need service.
