MacBook Air won't turn on and no light is visible on the mag charger.

About a month ago my mag charger sparked blue when I plugged it into th computer.

Since that day my computer has shown no signs of issue and I've used it daily. Two days ago I was using it and did not shut it down before bed. I just closed it and walked away. The next morning it wouldn't come on so I plugged it in thinking maybe it had died.

The charger light does not come on and the computer will not power up. I've tried multiple chargers and nothing lights up. Googling the problem I've tried all the suggestions of reset with the keyboard but it won't power up.

Answer this question I have this problem too
