Here are a few things to try. It is possible that you are starting in
some sort of USB mode, and then the bootloader is trying to switch mid-boot
Some ideas:
1) Look through the BIOS for usb compatibility boot modes and toggle them. It's not
uncommon
for new BIOSes to have different options to switch between to support legacy boot, uefi
boot,
usb hard drives, usb flash drives, etc. It's possible that previous CMOS settings were
lost when
your laptop got repaired?
2) Is your usb flash drive USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 or something different? There may be quirks
in the
USB hardware that change the behavior. You could try using 2.0 if you are using a usb 3.0
flash drive,
for example. If you don't have another flash drive, but do have a usb 2.0 hub, you
could try forcing
the usb to use 2.0 by using a 2.0 hub.
3) Are you able to connect to a physical network switch? If so, you might have some luck
with an ipxe-based
network install via a usb image downloaded from
https://netboot.xyz, for example.
Hope these address your issue, or at least don't cost you too much time. Good luck!
