Okay, thank you Žygimantas, I see that it's not Voria's 'samsung-laptop' module that bricks laptops but its Quantal derivative. The practical issue for us owners of Samsung Chronos 7 series laptops is whether other packages are safe or not for us in https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/ppa. After what we have seen here, it's scary to even try other packages that may use the same or similar code as in 'samsung-laptop' without first checking if someone has any relevant information, or someone has tried and confirmed that it works.
