So after a month of not using my
macbook, i tried turning it on and
it wouldn’t start up. Started charging it, same issue. Then today I tried turning it on again and this is what happened. Turned it off, turned it back on and now nothing shows up on the screen...Any ideas?

It looks like a GPU problem to me. If you have a 2010 -2013 15" or 17" then there are know dGPU problems. The Apple repair program for 2010 - 2011 has expired.

Apple can test and confirm if it is a dGPU problem. If it is the problem then the logic board would have to be replaced.
 
Disconnect all external devices.
Connect to battery charger.
Does this produce any results?
