The unit is completely unresponsive.
Just what you already tried - hold the power button for 20, or better, 30 seconds.

Only have your terminal emulator that is connected to the serial port cable, set to capture what it receives to a file, the messages produced during the start-up will give us something to go on.

Yes, it is a different cable, you need a 1.8volt, serial port adapter cable.

Read the file at the "datasheet" link on that page for the details of what you are shopping for.
