Are you sure it doesn't turn on? If it crashes and locks up before the power LED gets turned on, you might not know that it is turned on.
If you hold the power button for twenty seconds, you can be sure that it's actually turned off, not just locked up with no power LED. A serial console can help you diagnose a "dead" startup.
If the battery has been depleted, it's been widely reported that charging by USB-C is the only way to recover.
