Blank screen, no boot after hard-drive wipe?

I will try to provide as much detail as possible please ask if you need additional:

Was running OS High Sierra on early 2014 MacBook air

The computer was working 100% fine before I formatted the hard-drive

It has never experienced falls, hits, or water damage

Battery and charger components are fine and working accordingly

Originally the screen displayed the folder with a “?” but I did not have a bootable USB set up yet so I shut it down

After restarting the mac the screen is just a blank blueish-purpleish color

off screen for reference ''

''

with:

• Keyboard backlight - Off
• Display backlight - On
• Apple logo on back of Mac - On
• Fan spinning at normal speed
• Does not get overly hot if left on
• No peripherals connected

————

Things I’ve already tried:

• Every possible key combination during and before the boot phase
• (The only keys that do anything at all are the power button held down and the SMC reset, which fixes nothing)
• Booting without battery connected and on charger
• Booting without SSD connected

Any advice would be appreciated, the nearest apple store is over 2 hours from me and if it is hardware related I cannot afford to replace it at the moment.

Don’t think this will help but will include anyway:

Screw in SSD has now been put back btw
