[Keith Brown <1416849@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use an Asus X200MA with Ubuntu 14.04 and have had the same issue i.e.
a black screen since the update from 3.13.0-40 to 3.13.0-45. The update
to 3.13.0-46 didn't help so I'm back to using 3.13.0-40.

I tried Christopher Penalver's suggestion and upgraded the BIOS to the
latest version 504 (from November 2014). With 3.13.0-46 this results in
an initially scrambled screen that slowly becomes a white screen after a
minute or so. I can still use 3.13.0-40.

Here's the requested output of sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo
dmidecode -s bios-release-date:

X200MA.504
11/13/2014

Thanks a lot.

Title:
  Booted into blank screen after the security update

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am using Ubuntu 14.04 on ASUS X200MA laptop.
  After applying the security update to the linux kernel, the boot process failed.

  Summary:
  Grub load, empty purple screen appears and disappears,
  then the backlight turns off... it DOES NOT turn on and the log in drum sound rings.

  It is just like the former bug reported below:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/919350

  Now I am running on the previous kernel 3.13.0-44 #73-Ubuntu
  (with selecting from Grub menu), and have no problem on booting.

  I appreciate your help and cooperation. Thanks.
