Thanks for that, Same thing google said but wasn’t sure of the how to recover from it.
If I call apple I will need a serial number from the machine if I’m not mistaken? Great, I’ll have to find a set of eyes to do the reading for me.

This means that your EFI ROM is corrupted, and the computer is in EFI rom recovery mode. Unfortunately, this mode is not accessible, and since your computer is not new enough, it does not recover on its own. You need a restore CD which you can obtain through Apple. I suggest contacting them.

It has been powered off for approx. 12 months and last time it was used was to migrate data from it to a new mac book air. I’d love to get this machine up and running again if anyone can give me info on what is possibly happening.
