Hello,

I am writing to request bios mod to remove wireless card whitelist for Lenovo IdeaPad U430 Touch - my goal is to upgrade to a dual band/5Ghz wireless card. I checked your archives for existing bios mods, but my laptop model doesn't seem to exist. My bios dump is attached below, let me know if you need any further info. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

I would like to kindly request a wireless card whitelist removal for a Lenovo Ideapad U330p (7CCN62WW). 

I tried to install a Intel AX210 based Wifi card, the Laptop was inadvertently in Sleep mode when I inserted the card, and it showed up in Windows, but without available Wifi Networks (disabled?). After a restart the error message appeared in BIOS.

Thanks for your help.

I managed to patch the BIOS myself using a CH341A and following the informations form RehabMan Posts #59 and #85.

I think that the update might have also worked without de-soldering, but I learned on the hard way that the SPI Flash  (Gigadevice GD25B64BSIG in my case) must be erased before programming. De-solderig worked without issues for me using the overflow method (needs some experience).

Since the GUID for 7CCN62WW are different, I have updated the Patch.cmd to:
echo Patching files in DUMP for 7CCN62WW

The MPE-AXE3000H was recognized right away with the newest Intel drivers, but had no no signal and could not be activated.

Therefore I have done the pin 20 mod, by carefully cutting the trace right above the pin of the card (found the tape method to be to fidly).

After this the wifi radio could be switched on and off without issues.

Many thanks for all contributors.
