Hey guys:
I am using a macbook pro 13 inch, early 2011, aka mc700. I removed the integrated superdrive and changed that with a SSD. I have my windows7 bootcamp on my old-fashioned HDD. and mac os El Capitain on SSD. It has been workin perfectly.
But yesterday, I changed the battery with a new one. After the change, the Macos is working perfectly. But when I try to boot to bootcamp, it just refuse to boot, with a black screen and a blinking cursor. (not even the windows logo shows up).

My guess is that, completely remove the power source(integrated battery) make something(boot information?) stored lost? Any suggestions that I may make it work? As far as I know, the MC700 models refuse to boot from a external USB or DVD drive of windows installation, so I can simply re-install win7..

By the way, the boot camp does boot up in VMWare Fusion. it seems the partition is fine.
