Is there anything else I can do to fix my macbook air?

I bought A 2019 macbbook air used from facebook marketplace a little over a year ago. One night, when i was done using it, I just turned it off and went to bed. Woke up and wanted to use it for something and it wouldn't load into macos. most of the time it would just flash on and off a black screen. Occasionally i could get an apple logo to flash on and of, but that is far as I got. Here is what I have tried:

-booting from a macos install usb which i know works becasue i tested it on my brothers macbook

-tried pram reset

-tried every single combination of comand r, which would load internet recovery but it would never get to the screen with the option to reinstall macos

- tried a revive using apple configurator

What else is there to do that I have not tried?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store and have it checked. They will not charge you to run a diagnostic.

A Mac system sometime can be stuck at Black screen and become unresponsive. There can be various reasons for this issue such as:

1. Display issue

2. Battery issue

3. Software/App causing error

4. Broken Disk permission

5. MacOS incompatibility

However, to fix the issue, you can try the below methods:

1. Check the power

2. Restart the MacBook system

3. Reset the PRAM/NVRAM

4. Reset the SMC

5. Reinstall the MacOS

Hope it helps!
