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

[Timo Palomaa]

What is the latest firmware that the Samsung updater software (on
Windows) provides? On the Samsung support site latest version is 1.0.0.3
from May 9, 2012. I am thinking about getting this model, so am thinking
if there is even a slight chance that this bug is ever going to get
fixed.

#55: "they told me that the Samsung Series 5 was already discontinued" -
The whole Series 5? I doubt. Must have meant this model only - there's
already a new touchscreen version coming with Win8, and there was a
530U3_B_ before this 530U3C.

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.
