To start a DJI drone, press and release the power button and immediately press again.

Are you trying to charge the battery while in the drone?

What is the watt output of the charging brick you're using?

20 watts and left it a lot at charging and nothing then tried with the MacBook brick

You need to get one that is at least 65 watts.

The MacBook one has 67W and nothing…

Then that leads me to think you may very well have a defective battery. Is that the battery you have?

I had trouble charging the batteries of my Air 3. I had a 40-watt charging brick and let them charge overnight and they did not charge. I bought a 100-watt brick and now they charge in about 35 minutes.

One more question I'll ask. Is the drone on when you're trying to charge the battery? If so, try charging with the drone off. Other than that I don't know what the problem might be.

If you just bought it today, call or email the buyer to discuss a replacement or if they know why it's not charging.

I wish you the best of luck. (There may be others that will chime in that may know something else to try).

Try a different USB cable. I had problems charging my Mini 3 Pro when I first purchased it. I replaced the 30 w charger with a 65 w unit thinking that was the problem. When that didn't help, I purchased a new USB-C cable to replace the DJI supplied cable. I haven't had any problems since.
