I bought my Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4" android tablet back in 2019. It has given me almost no issues other than it started to slow down recently.
Before a trip I took, I fully charged it, powered it off, and put it in my bag. This was on a Thursday. A few days later on Sunday I went to use it and it would not power on. Plugging it into multiple known good chargers does nothing. It is showing zero signs of life (no vibration, no screen power). There is zero physical damage that I can see - no bends or cracks or anything. And the USB-C port still feels solid.
I've tried...
Anyone else run into this and figure out what the issue is?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice!

I've tried...
- Holding the power button for 15-20+ seconds.
- Holding the power button and volume down for 15-20+ seconds.
- Holding the power button and volume up for 15-20+ seconds.
- Holding the power button and volume up+down for 15-20+ seconds.
- Tried charging it with multiple known good chargers.
- Tried leaving it plugged into known good chargers for hours.
- Tried the button combos above while plugged in.
- Tried wiggling the power button, volume rocker, and the physical "home" "button" in case they were stuck and causing issues...
- Even tried flipping the USB-C cable...
- Tried adding some very light pressure to the power cable (like up/down/left/right) to see if it would give me a sign that the charging port was loose.
- Have tried googling it, a lot, but seems like no one else has run into this issue.
