(not the parent, but I had the same laptop with the same problem) I reinstalled Fedora. I could have probably recovered the grub bootloader manually, but I wasn't really keen on sitting there for a few hours. All my data was backed up anyway.

It still allowed you to boot from USB? How do you recover if you lose that option (other than sending in your laptop to be reflashed)?
