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

[Jose Padilla]

I bought my laptop in an online shop. It was bricked only two hours
after I had received it. So immediately I sent an e-mail to demand  a
new one. Because of I was afraid that they could reject my demand, I
lied a little (I still didn't know the Directive 1999/44/CE) . I told
them that it was bricked after a Windows 7 update and omitted the part
that I had Ubuntu installed. After all, I was sure it wasn't a hardware
problem and they could reflash the BIOS to solve it.  After four days
they told me that the Samsung Series 5 was already discontinued. In that
case I demand a full refund of my money that I received after three
days.

Now I have a Samsung Series 9 (NP900X3C) and I'm very happy with it.

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.
