This is a long story. My spouse and I have 4530s's that are identical save that hers has the fingerprint scanner and it's a little older. But identical. I can boot both machines up from their respective backups. My wife's 4530s has had some spotty wifi issues. After examining her machine, I found that antenna wire 1 golden jack suffers from metal fatigue. Recently, I upgraded the RAM in my 4530s to 16GB. Everything worked fine.
This is the circumstantial evidence. Then, yesterday, I tried to swap her SSD with my SSD so that she could use my more reliable 4530s and I could replace the antenna wire. But after doing so, my 4530s took a long time to boot into a black screen. Thus far, no amount of tweaking Clover will help. I even put back in 8 GB of RAM. I refreshed the BIOS. Tried older versions of Clover. What is strange is that I can boot Windows 7 on my 4530s with a separate HDD.
So, I have no files to show yet, no logs per se. The two SSDs that seem to be just fine will boot in my wife's machine with the flakey WiFi issue (it is somewhat minimized with duct tape for now). So, my question is, why won't the other 4530s boot?
