Mar 14, 2022 at 0:58 comment added ck1987pd @John Weirdly the computer now started up after I let the battery to drain to cause a shutdown. No data is lost. I am currently backing everything up. Then, I will try the force shutdown again. Apparently, the button is alright, maybe the circuitry that was supposed to handle the force shutdown is disconnected.
