No Boot: chime, but not reaching apple logo; display is working

Okay so this dropped MB air 2013 doesnt start. The startup chime starts normally… then nothing. Not even an apple logo. The display works fine (the low battery indicator shows properly if i try to turn it on after draining the power). Tried PVRAM reset, SMC reset, no dice. Doesnt want to enter recovery/safe/single user mode. Opened it up removed the ssd, still the same behavior. Please help!
