Switch 1 crashed while charging and won't turn back on.

Question

I've followed all the tutorials that have been posted here for this kind of issue but none of them were under the same circumstances. Basically I was charging my switch with a macbook charger (I know this isn't advised, thought I could get away with it, lesson learned) and playing the switch at the same time. The screen suddenly brightened for a second and then turned off completely, and I haven't been able to get it on again, no matter what I do. All of the tutorials say to leave it charging for a while, but I know that my switch had at least 30% charge when this happened, so I know it wasn't just a case of dead battery, and I don't really want to leave it charging if the macbook charger was possibly the damaging component. The joy cons both have battery when I remove them,so it just appears to be the main console. Anyone had anything similar happen?
