This has to be a world first lol. I can't believe you don't have a grub. My head hurts.

I  have experienced a non-appearing grub once before and it was sometime during the 3.x series. I ignored it and edited grub because I was in a hurry and the system still booted. It was an older Dell. If my memory serves correctly (which is old and tired) It had something to do with out of series (deprecated) update issue and grub timeout needing to be above 0.

Well, it prob means I am possibly doing something wrong, but I don't know what....!

I have tried holding the shift key down a) just before and b) just after turning on the computer. I also tried it with a re-start as well as a full reboot, but I still don't know what I'm doing wrong that I can't get it to come up.

Not a big deal though... right now this session Wi-Fi is happening to play nicely... could also be a hardware issue as Jerry mentioned earlier. As long as I can make it to next week with my busy workload I should be OK!

Just for the record: sometimes, I've also experienced an absence of grub with some of my LL installs.
However, in such cases, the grub always appears if I go on to dual-boot with another OS.
64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work

I don't have dual boot, in case that has any effect. I have only LL3.8, no other OS.

OK moving on, I think the cause is indeed a hardware one, so I've marked this issue as solved. The reason for this is that the Wi-Fi connection died again today, and when I went to shut down, a brief error message came up on top left screen, something about a hardware error.

Thanks Jerry and EVERYONE who helped with this, I really appreciate the care everyone in the LL community has shown in trying to get my machine back on track.

Moving forward, am now am looking to get a new Wi-Fi card (have opened a new thread about recommendations for ones that would work well w LL).
