Hi, I could not imagine an OS installation could corrupt the BIOS (whether be Samsung's fault or Linux's).
The problem happened to me with a NP300E4X-A04CO; don't know BIOS version. Ubuntu 18.04 (LTS). I'm able to use F3 (CD boot), but I haven't tried to update BIOS since I haven't found a BIOS for such laptop (if anyone has any that works, I would thank you). I don't know yet if Online BIOS Update is working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
