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

[Albert Widiatmoko]

1) what model of laptop do you have?
        > Samsung 5 series ultra (530U3C)
   2) When you say it's bricked twice - that's confusing, do you mean you've permenantly unrecoverably bricked two laptops, or do you mean you somehow recovered them?
        > Yes its bricked unrecoverable, so i bring the laptop to nearest Samsung center and they told me that they have to change the mainboard to recover my laptop. Since i had broke my laptop twice Samsung told me to not broke it again, so now i have no choice to run other OS than Windows :(
   3) What version of Ubuntu did you install at (1) ?
        > 12.04
   4) The boot at (2) was that a normal boot after the installation?
       > Yes the boot very normal, no problem at all
   5) In (3) did it upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu (which?)
       > Nope, i just update some package from ubuntu update manager
   6) Had you ever selecting the EFI boot options?
      > Yes, the EFI boot options is enabled, because i can't boot from usb if EFI disabled.

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.
