    Remove the charger and flip the device upside down. Now on the rear end look for a tiny pinhole with a battery icon next to it. Use a suitable tool like a paperclip and insert it into the hole, hold it for 30-40 sec without any cables now turn on the device and check. If the device doesn't turn on with battery power connect the charger and try.

    Make sure the charger is plugged in properly. Try different wall sockets if it does not work.

    Just another advice after reset battery power pinhole as it was described above let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes then power it back on

    PS: your full model its on the back black sticker
