Generally speaking, HP’s Mini-Note 2133 is pretty well loved the world over. Sure, there are a few things that could use tweaking, but what good gadget couldn’t use even a small dose of overhaul? Nevertheless, a few reports have been trickling in suggesting that HP’s netbook is suddenly going dark and refusing to start back up. Folks are apparently being told that it’s a motherboard power failure, though it doesn’t seem to have become widespread just yet… or has it? Let us know in comments below.

Samsung, the worldwide leader in flash memory production, has been forced to “shut down six of its chip production lines after a power outage occurred at a plant near Seoul,” and while recent reports suggest that “operations should be restored within a day,” the lasting effects could linger on for quite some time. Reportedly, the outage occurred at Samsung’s Giheung complex and disrupted production of flash memory, DRAM, and logic chips, and while this may not sound too significant to the average outsider, estimates are already pegging losses at around $54 billion. Notably, Samsung wouldn’t say whether or not the hiccup will affect supplies of memory chips to Apple (one of its top customers), but analysts are already purporting that we could see “a severe shortage of NAND chips” and increased prices in the coming weeks.
