Hello!
It's weird to have an error that requires removing the battery to clear.
You are correct - it just triggers a firmware routine in the BIOS. It's just one of those things that they're all supposed to support. Perhaps Samsung issued a BIOS update to fix that. I don't know.
Since your laptop has 2 GB of RAM, it would probably run Windows 7 just fine. I'd definitely try some other Linux distros out, also, to see whether or not your problems are problems are specific to Linux Lite.
I have a Dell desktop that has a funny power switch issue like that. It won't shut off when you first plug it in, but if you boot it to an OS and then shut it down through that OS, it then works properly afterward. Go figure...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
