[SOLVED] E7440: Battery ran out in standby and now it won't boot

[blackthorn87]

So I had my hackintosh on standby and the battery ran out. Now when I try to boot it gets to clover and I select my partition to boot and nothing happens. I then booted in verbose mode and all I get is a line of +'s.

 

I have a Dell latitude e7440. i7, 8gb ram. If you need any other specs lets me know.

 

Thanks!

at clover prompt hit spacebar and select the boot with hibernate disable option. or something along those lines if not you can reset nvram by pressing F11 at clover gui.

When I press space the only options I get are in the attached image.

 

The closest option to what you're saying is 'Disable PowerNap', but that is already checked.

 

I then went back to the home screen and pressed f11.

 

But it still doesn't load. When I enter verbose mode, all I get is a line of +'s. If I also select Safe Mode all it does is say 'Safe Mode' before the line of +'s.

 

Is there anything else I can do, or will I have to reinstall macOS over the top of my current install?

 

I just checked booting with my boot usb and I loaded into macOS fine. Maybe I corrupted my Clover partition? I did try to update my clover install, but I still can't boot.

I restored my clover installation to older version and boom, I'm straight back in!! Maybe it was an older update and I hadn't rebooted yet to find the issue.

 

I'm going to update the clover install again and see if that was the issue.

It does seem like I corrupted my clover install. It's all good now! The latest update works fine.

 

I'll tell you what, the boot usb is the most useful troubleshooting tool you'll need for a hackintosh; it allows you to boot into macOS  even if you have an issue!

 

Thanks for the help!
