  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.
