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
