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

[allocerceau]

OK, so I just found out this bug while bricking my samsung laptop. I had trouble de install a windows 7 pro version over the home premium one, so I decided to try and install ubuntu. 
I have (had ?) a series 3 samsung laptop, and tried to install 12.10 version of ubuntu.
The installation went well, until the computer rebooted to "blank" purple screen. I couldn't even shut down the laptop with a long press on the power button, so I forced shut down by removing the power cable. When I tried to power it on, I had and still have nothing on the screen (it powers on but nothing happens).

I tried to clear cmos by removing the battery inside but it was no use.
Connecting to another screen didn't help as well.
I also tried to long press the power button without any power supply (cable or battery). 

I don't know what to do, and feel like I just lost 500€ (the laptop was
never used). I am pretty upset.

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.
