My S22 wouldn't boot after a Samsung software update this morning. It looked like it was completing the update where I could see the percentage progress. Then, it turned black and dead.
I tried forced reboot with Vol Down and Power button seems to run, but after loading the ONE UI page (reaching 100%), it just turned dead. I also tried entering recovery mode but nothing happened when I tried Vol Up and Power button (I kept pressing up to 1 min or so and still dead). Also tried when connected to a laptop, and still nothing. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks very much for all the responses. It seems to be a battery issue. I thought it was fully charged when I clicked 'Install now,' but maybe it was close to empty. After plugging in several cables, I was able to turn it on.
