Older intel mac won't power on at all (self.mac)

I've got a pretty old macbook pro, I would assume it's intel. I'd installed refind and debian on it then just left it for a while. No damage that I know of, but I did move houses. Now, I plug it in and the power cord shows green, and the battery indicator shows blinking fully bars. I have tried all the keyboard things to reset, but no luck. Is this thing fucked, or are there any possible solutions? Thanks for the help guys!

I held it for about 5 minutes, and still nothing. I do have a french keyboard, so I don't knopw if that might impact the key combo? I think it wouldn't however, just cause it still has option(written as alt), cmd, and p+r. No other guesses, the laptop is completely unresponsive. Thanks for the idea, I will probably just take it apart and look
