PBP won't boot (no amber or green LED)

It sometimes is good (or at least reassuring) to know that someone else has experienced a problem similar to what you are having. On Friday of this past week (August 21, 2020), I turned my PBP on and let it run for a while. I also connected the charging cable in case some update needed a little more power from the battery. There were several updates that were completed without any problem (that I know of). When I turned the PBP off after an hour or two, maybe a bit longer, the power indicator showed a little over 95% charge. Today when I attempted to turn it on again, the power button seemed to work as it should. The power LED was first amber then turned to green. But the screen was still black. There was no log-in screen at all. I tried some of the tools that could be used to get into the log-in screen and then to the desktop. All without any change or success. In a few minutes, I will print, from another computer, the file referenced and attempt that recovery method. Thanks to the community for the responses to the newly found problems and for finding at least 'work around' solutions until the problem could be corrected at its source.
