HP EliteBook 650 G10 No Wifi or Bluetooth after flashing bios

[Dallen Bryce]

Hello all,

I just finished flashing a new bios on an HP EliteBook 650 G10, and everything works except wifi and bluetooth. After installing the necessary drivers, the wireless card reports code 43 in windows. When restarting the computer, i get a code 10 (could not start) on the wireless card in device manager. I suspect that this could be a mac address issue, but I don't know what address to set it to in the bios, or if this is even related to the problem at all. Any insight on this would be appreciated.

In the past on Elitedesks when I've used clean dumps, I've had to copy over the GbE region at offset 1000h (length 2000h). From memory, that only affected the ethernet adaptor though. MAC address for the WIFI would be on the adaptor itself I would have thought (assuming it's a plug in card).

The wifi is a plug in card, it gets recognized as a wifi adapter but just doesn't work. It was working before flashing the bios though, so I don't think it's broken.

This looks like it has a CNVio2 card, usual nonsense from Intel. With CNVi, the card is not a fully-fledged standalone PCIe adapter, it's just a PHY that connects to the MAC inside the PCH.
BIOS contains stuff for the Wi-Fi MAC layer but I don't know how it works.
