I'm looking for some help. I have the AMD version of the Lenovo G50-45 laptop. It has an Insyde BIOS. Like many others, I need to get past the whitelist and understand this particular BIOS must be physically flashed...
I have all the hardware and have successfully read and flashed the chip several times. The problem is my modified BIOS file will not work and I have to revert to the original dump.
I've tried two different ways. First, I tried stopping the whitelist following these directions.

That didn't work. The laptop won't start at all...
Then I tried to just replace the hardware IDs of my old WiFi card with the new one using this guide...

That didn't work either and again the laptop won't turn on...
Both times, when I flash the original backup back to the chip, it works perfectly and boots up... I'm guessing there is some checksum that realizes this is not an official BIOS rom?
I even took a look at this thread, but didn't get to far as I couldn't find the keyword
TCPABIOS...

Soooooooooo.....
Can anyone help me with either pointing out what I'm doing wrong or helping my mod the BIOS correctly?
I have attached my bios read file along with the latest Lenovo BIOS version 2.13.
