More Information/External Sources
This model seems to have a prone-to-dying Texas Instruments USB-C PD + Thunderbolt multiplexer controller "TPS65983" as ive seen two (suspecting 3) models with it being the cause of the display not working. Issue can stem from other places as well, like power supply (fuses etc).
How to use test mode:
Location of the button, make sure power is plugged in while testing. 1. power plug 2. test mode button
What the display should show if test mode works
