Try long holding your down arrow/power button until it powers on. It is considered button #2 in the manual - Approach Z80 - Turning on the Device.

If you cannot get it to respond, please update the software…

You can also try restarting the computer, otherwise you might need to try a different USB cable. You can use any data USB cable you may have in your house for other electronics.

I am having the same issue and tried each of these. I switched from a Mac to a PC computer as well, the Garmin Express app is unable to find my device. Do I have any more options?

You can try resetting the Z80.

Select Settings > System> Restore Defaults

Unfortunately that plays into my original problem because I am unable to turn the device on so I can’t go to the settings.
