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

[tabares]

Same here.  I'm installed sucessfully Ubuntu 10.04 x86 in the SAMSUNG
530U3C and works fine.  But when I tried to install the 64 bits version,
I assumed that enabling the UEFI boot from bios will upgrade the
performance, but the Laptop hanged up in black screen and never start
over again.  Turn the power button On, the power light blink, then the
HDD light and thats all.  It's impossible to switch any option of the
BIOS due to is impossible to see it.  The shop changed me the laptop for
a new one because I bought it only15 days ago.  I'm afraid to try out
again the Ubuntu 12.10 amd 64  with the UEFI boot disable and this
episode shows up again.

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.
