Comment 645 for bug 1734147

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.
