I put a new SSD in my Mac Mini and accidentally launched a Clover-based USB installer. I had no idea this thing could brick my Mac. All I did was attempt to launch the installer, and was met with a black screen for about 10 minutes. I chose to power down. Upon starting, I get the repeating startup chime over and over. I tried to put back in the original HDD, same symptoms.
After all my research, it seems I possible bricked the EFI chip? I don't understand how just attempting to open the installer would do this. Does anyone know a way to resolve this without having to get a new chip online and soldered in? I pray that someone has figured this out. None of my startup key combinations work, it's completely unresponsive to keyboard input.
