Did you try the basics first? Hold down power for long time. 30 seconds. There is a small chance you’re not affected by this issue.

All possible things. 30 seconds, 60 seconds. 10 seconds then plug in cable. SMC reset. DFU mode (it enters dfu mode, but restore doesn't work). I spent the last 48 hours trying to bring it back to life. Unless Apple releases some kind of software we can use on another mac to 'fix' this one, I don't feel it will be fixed without shipping it to them.
