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.

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.
