Power buttons these days are multi-functional and can do some strange things.
Disconnect from mains power, leave it for 5 minutes, re-connect, leave
another 5 minutes, then press the power button.
With luck, it may now boot.
Try that several times if it doesn't work the first time.
Sometimes you have to hold the power button in for 8 seconds for it to
activate or turn fully off.
