probably the battery is dead due to autorcm
plug in the ac adapter, hold Power for 15s then let it charges for 30mins and see if there is any sign of life

Hold the power button for 15 seconds and try again. Did you enabled autrorcm with the sx bootloader?

ok i holded the power button for 15 sec and let it charge all night but nothing still no life any other ideas
Since auto rcm is enabled you won't see any sings of life. You are not able to tell when it's on rcm mode or just powered off without battery. Did you tried using your dongle or pc after charging it? To make sure it's completely powered off hold the power button for 15 seconds. Then after pressing the power button once it should be in rcm mode and your pc or dongle should detect it.
