[Bug 1040557] Re: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C, np700z5c laptop

[pancho]

Hello to everyone,

I have the very similar problem with my new laptop Samsung NP3005CXXXX
with Win7 pre-installed. I install ubuntu and after that the laptop is
bricked.  In fact, I decided to install ubuntu using all the hard disk
what means that I was not expecting to have a dual boot.  Now, neither
linux nor windows is working and the screen is always blac. Could some
one give me an advice? I don't know if I could do something with the
warranty service.

Thanks,

Bug description:
  I cannot provide detailed log massages because laptop is bricked right
  now.

  If you have courage to try it select UEFI boot from bios and than try
  to boot laptop using liveusb (made form Precise Pangolin 12.04.1
  amd64).

  Laptop hangs up in black screen. If you force power-off, after it,
  laptop wont start. I mean it not event start bios, just black screen
  no sounds nothing.

  I filing this report, because i already bricked second laptop. At
  first i thought it was unrelated issue and laptop was fixed by
  warranty service (replaced motherboard), but after second time i quite
  sure.
