Well you're not going to like this but it's time to boot a live system,
chroot into your install and fix up the bootloader then.
Warning: I'm not at all convinced of your diagnosis.
Some more information you'll have to harvest from a live boot system
about your existing installation would be ideal.
Check Secure Boot settings in the UEFI as well - disable it if it's back
on for some reason.
There are multiple ways to attack this - if your system has a EFI shell
available (which it doesn't seem to) we could use that to manually load
the operating system. You could also interrupt a live system early in
boot and drop to it's grub prompt: we could then use that to correctly
locate and then load the OS as well. Both are somewhat advanced and are
going to be hellish to try and explain via a mailing list though.
Full live boot and chroot are probably going to be the most intelligible
to you but I'd be prepared for a hard slog, this isn't going to be
pretty ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, thanks for the encouragement. I have checked and secure boot is
off. The date shown in the BIOS is correct.
As I have said, I can run it from a live USB and can then read all the
files on the SSD.
I don't know what an EFI shell is, so will have a Google for it.
Could it be as simple as a loose connection?
