Hi, I'm a noob here, this is my first request.
I'm trying to update the WiFi card in this laptop and I've come up against the dreaded HP 'whitelist'. I was wondering if the BIOS in this laptop could be modded to remove the whitelist or to add the info for WiFi card into the BIOS whitelist.
The most current BIOS number from HP is sp59880. The BIOS version installed on the laptop (from System Information) is F.12
Something called SMBIOS is version 2.7
The WiFi card that's in the machine is an Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030, model number 11230BNHU.
The WiFi card that I'm trying to install is an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260, model number 7260HMW.
If any more information is needed please let me know. Thank you for your help! I hope I've made this request correctly...
