When was the last time it worked? Did anything change since then?

I've seen where they seem like they are off but just frozen with a black screen.

Try holding the power button for 20 seconds, then press it again but only once.

BTW - not sure what you've tried and how good you are with Mac so if you tried things let me know.

I am good with a pc and have built my own, i am new to macs though. I have tried the 20 second trick already and it has been non-functionable for about a week

The charger shows a green light, the macbook is sealed with weird rounded torx screws.

First try resetting your SMC.

- Make sure the Mac is plugged in to the power.
- Press and hold the Shift, Option, and Control keys on the left side and press the power button.
- Release all the keys at once, and then turn the Mac on normally.

Then try resetting the PRAM (I know you need to hear a startup chime for this but try it anyways).

- Press the power button, and as soon as you hear the startup chime, hold down Command-Option-P-R.
- Keep holding down those keys until you hear a second startup chime. Then let go and allow your Mac to continue starting normally.
