I just returned from a trip, and my PC has been powered off the whole time (but still plugged in). Now, when I try to turn it on, I get a black screen right away. There's no Windows loading screen or my motherboard's MSI logo that usually appears—just a small white dash in the top left corner. I've attempted to power drain it by unplugging and turning it off for 30 seconds, and I also tried to force it into the Windows Recovery Environment by switching it on and off a few times, but nothing seems to work. I'm really stuck here, and I'd appreciate any help!

It sounds like a frustrating situation! Since you're on Windows 11, let's try getting into the system settings. You can usually do that by pressing the Delete key or the Escape key right after you power it on. This might help you access recovery options.
I had a similar issue once, and hitting those keys helped me get into the settings. It’s worth a shot!
