The damaged wire may be why the AC isn't turning on. Contact a professional to repair the wire or repair it yourself if you have the skills to do so.

The socket in which you plugged in the AC may have overloaded and burned. Change the socket or reconnect the wires properly. You may do so yourself or hire a professional.

Contact the AC's original manufacturer regarding the problem as there may be a fault in the internal circuit.

Open the vents as this may be the reason why the air is not flowing.

First change the settings using the remote as it may be the cause for the air to not blow.
