Macintosh 128K won't power on, sadly.

7 months ago, I used my Macintosh 128K, and it still works in 2015. But then, when I left it in my storage, I looked at it again since it was gone on October 31, 2015, it died, and it won't turn on. I tried force turning it on, and recharging it for 3 hours, it won't work. I tried using a higher power source, and it won't power on. Will the Apple Store fix my Macintosh 128K, I had a Mac Pro, but just don't want to switch to a newer computer, since when I am 4 months old as a baby in January 1984, my parents bought that one Mac. Like, can we replace it by a new Macintosh 128K, or I had to buy a new one, since I am doing a 50 year review coming this January 2034, so I need it to last for 50 years.

Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), 5K, 2.7 GHz 12 core, 64GB RAM, 1TB

The Mac 128K does not have a rechargeable battery.

Here is what you can do with that computer:
