MacBook fried?

I was on a road trip and accidently threw the bag w/ my MacBook in the trunk for close to 8 hours. When I attempted to turn it on, nothing happened. When I plug in the charger it will actually take the charge (light is orange to charge, turned green over night); but it will not turn on.
I have tried holding the power button for 10 seconds w/ no results
I tried to hold the Shift+Control+Option keys while pressing the power button for 10 seconds plugging in, then letting go and hitting power again.
The most it will do is the light on the charger will blink from green to orange and back to green within about 1-2 seconds.
Battery is not removable without taking apart the MacBook.

Have you left it inside for a while to cool down? I know some of the newer models don't turn on if they're over a certain temp degree.

been inside for over a week and tried all of the same tricks and still no response.

Batteries, in general, don't handle extreme temps very well. Call Apple and see where you can get the battery worked on.

My MacBook Pro battery got fried after I spilt a whiskey drink on it. Took maybe an hour but I was able to slowly soften up the adhesive enough with a blow dryer to pry it out. Cleaned it up good with isopropyl alcohol and replaced the battery with one of the ones from iFixit. Really isnt hard to do if you follow the steps in the guide and it’ll save you a lot of money.

I used their kit to replace my iPhone battery and was very pleased.
Instructions were fairly easy to understand. You follow them from their website, and each step has a comments section. This is nice because people share tips or tricks when a certain step is a bit challenging.

Buy an Acer Chromebook.
