I’ve tried, a different charger, a different charging port, charging cycle, resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, resetting the SMC, etc.. And before you ask, I tried charging it all day, yes the charger is fine, yes the ports are fine, no I didn’t spill anything on it, no it wasn’t dropped, no there’s no extraneous metal in it…. Idk what’s wrong w it. It was working fine last week.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.0
Your should take it somewhere that has spare power adapters and cables on hand, and folks who know about power issues and put their hands on these Macs all day every day.
That is an Apple-owned store, for a free evaluation (with appointment) for a hardware issue.
check is whether the machine is actually attempting to boot at all, keep holding power until you see the “Options” screen, if that doesn’t show, you’re likely looking at a deeper hardware fault (logic board, battery, or power delivery).
Been there, done that. About 2 months ago lost a 2018 Intel 13" MBP like that. Working just fine, closed the lid to put it to sleep for the day, never woke up again. Tried everything short of a DFU reset. Ended up at a local Level 2 repair center which couldn't do anything either in spite their much more powerful resources. What they did manage to do (at a cost) is talk to the mostly dead logic board's storage and retrieve the contents, which they handed over in an encrypted external drive. Something to consider if you don't have a current backup and the stuff inside is worth it: note it can only be done once.
After that, did a full DFU Reset twice to ensure the data was gone for good and junked the thing.

Follow all those steps from start to finish. There are seven steps, six if it's an M series Mac.
