I used 32bit boot-repair-disk iso yesterday to try fix a grub problem.
Looks like it's built on unpatched Ubuntu 17.10. My bios is now corrupt
and unable to boot from USB, worse grub wasn't fixed so my tablet is now
a paperweight (maybe a powerbank, suppose it has some use. Fujitsu Q584
using InsydeH20 v5.0 bios.
Can't boot anything so only fix appears to involve a lot of soldering on
miniature components, not something I'd be confident doing. Really
disappointed Canonical consider this problem solved and have not done
more to remove unpatched Ubuntu from the wild.
I've read through all the comments and I don't see any fix that would
work in this circumstance. I know it's an old machine but was really
responsive and usable from my very brief experience on Linux. I'm
concerned others may try to revive old machines with Linux and suffer
same fate.
