MacBook Air won’t turn on

Charger is steady amber, but MacBook Air won’t turn in. Have tried all sorts but nothing. Did the CTR/ALT/SHIFT/Power thing, Charger turned green briefly, but returned to amber. No fan going, just blank screen, no lights. Help!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13

Troubleshooting Mac Power:

A. Black Mac Screen:

Go Here: If your Mac doesn't Turn On or Start Up - Apple Support

Using External Devices: Try Resetting the SMC and NVRAM (Applies to Intel-Based Laptops Only), but this time, using an external keyboard. Connect an external monitor and see if you get an output.


B. Mac Power Issues:

Try a New Charger:

If it is currently charging from a charger, then use a new charger:
