The next best step is really to find an external monitor to test, if not it might be dead

The 2011 15" macbook pro has a known GPU issue. It is likely that this is your issue. You are lucky to have it operating until now! There was a repair program from Apple that was provided but that has since lapsed.

I would say keep rebooting the Mac and hope the screen comes back on.

Yeah, apart from replacing the chip, the other way to get your monitor back working again is to disable the faulty dGPU and forces the macbook to only use the integrated Intel graphics.

The downside is that you will lose the ability to drive an external display from the DisplayPort
