My MacBook died after I plug my power cord

My macbook suddenly died as soon as i plug my power cord with 30% battery. I tried to reset but did not work at all. Im not sure if it makes sense because i am in Philippines and power voltage is different . Might be short circuited? Please help. Im losing it and its covid lockdown. :(

Hope you figured it out but if not - your Mac most probably alive.

No the difference in the voltage should not do any harm unless it delivered in spikes of enormous amplitude which should be rare even in Philippines

Could you please precise with what key combo have you tried to restart?

Have you tried Control+Option+Shift+Power button?

If not - try it.

Same key combo as for SMC reset but one quick press.

If it is up and running - great. If not - try to do SMC and PRAM reset and see what’s happening. Normally it should fix your A1708.

If not - I would first check the power supply module whether it is working with something else.

If it is working and your Macbook Pro still show no signs of life then the deeper investigation will be necessary.

Let’s hope it will not be that serious.

Please post your findings and we will proceed from those.
