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

[Tristen]

Hey, not good news for some of you, but at least I finally found others,
this is pretty much exactly what happened after I upgraded from 12.04.
The difference is I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5965.  I have been
beta testing for about a year and a half but I sat out this cycle.
Anyways, I have also bricked my laptop as a result.  Thought I would
share in case the info helps, maybe there are some build similarities
that could id the source of the problem and maybe a fix.  If there is a
fix btw could someone let me know, I miss my Toshiba... :)

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.
