I installed ubuntu 14.04 and f2 doesnt work.  it just takes me to to the
grub menu. also booting from a cd/dvd/usb is not working.  i thought
right away to reset the bios but my laptop 300e5c doesnt have a way to
do that.  it says a fix was released.  i also saw something about
flashing the bios using a usb but how the heck is that going to work if
my machine cant boot usbs.

ugh.

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.
