sorry, can't get into this further but before going to extreme measures perhaps it is just a loose connection or cable? with the computer completely unplugged and you grounded to prevent static shocks (this time of the year the air can be dry and static charges can build up) you can open the computer and inspect the connections and carefully remove dust if it has built up. then put it back together and see if it will reboot when you turn it back on. worth a try... but also for the record Refind is a different booting setup from grub (i happen to have both setup here on my machine). Refind works and i do like it as an alternative and backup to grub (which does at times get upgraded and messes some things (now usually just the boot order) up but i'm running Debian testing so that is all ok with me). luckily when efi does get changed by a grub update the command efibootmgr can be used to put things right again. good luck, and hope if you can't get it working again that you have good backups or that your storage device can be recovered. songbird
