    Lenovo Y470N BIOS white-list wlan removal request

    I have a old laptop Lenovo Y470N which is a old model with no UEFI BIOS boot option and the builtin BIOS restricts wlan cards known as white-list WLAN cards. I need to update the CPU microcode and remove the white-list WLAN cards function. Tried to the old fashioned way of hex replacement of vender-ID and device-id method but not very useful, I have to do this all over again after new wlan card and this method turns out freezing the laptop sometime. If possible I also need to enable UEFI boot function. Any help would be appreciated.
    BIOS dump attached below. The BIOS is Insyde legacy BIOS.

      Summary of BIOS Whitelist Removal Problem


      Problem:
      I am attempting to remove the WWAN card whitelist from my Lenovo ThinkPad T560.
      Initial Findings:
      • My current BIOS version is N1KET58W (1.45).
      • I have a CH341A programmer and have successfully created two full backups of my BIOS.
      • I have the ability to use command-line tools on a Linux machine.
      Troubleshooting Steps & Conclusions:
      • I attempted to use several automated and manual patching methods on my N1KET58W (1.45) BIOS, including using hex strings. These attempts all failed.
      • I concluded that the

      Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
      by Wahaz
      Hello,

      I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
      So I thought it was a Bios problem.
      I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

      Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 Desktop - Corrupt BIOS
      by grimacelord
      Hello there.

      I am working on a Lenovo Legion T5-26AMR5 desktop that currently has a corrupt BIOS and I have been unsuccessful thus far in trying to fix it myself.

      History:

      1. This computer came to me initially with an error message that said "BiInitializeLibrary failed 0xc0000001" or "0135 fan error". It would always be one of the two errors. It should be noted that when it produced the fan error, there was no physical problem with the fans. They were all spinning just fine.

      I searched for this error online and discovered...

      Lenovo X270 Bios - remove Whitelist
      by xsd611
      ​Hello, this is a BIOS file for the Lenovo X270 laptop, read out through a CH341 programmer. I located error 1802 in the PE32 module. This is a detection for the network card's whitelist. How can I bypass or remove the whitelist check? My skills are limited, and I have tried many times but ended up with a black screen. How can I normally bypass this whitelist check? Please help me edit this BIOS file, thank you. It would be great if you could provide illustrations to guide me. Thank you very much!...

      My Lenovo X380 Yoga:

      Model: 20LJS0MP00
      SN: MP1ME1R9
      BIOS: 1.41
      BOard: LA-F421P

      does not accept my WWAN cards Sierra 7305 or 7455. I get the dreadful "1802 unauthorised card..." message.

      I have spent hours searching for a patch and stumbled across
      https://github.com/digmorepaka/think...rmware-patches
      I have tried the xx70_xx80_patches_v7.txt file (using UEFIpatch) and some patches could be applied but not
      those of the whitelist section.

      I even extracted the LenovoWmaPolicyDxe_LenovoWmaPolicyDxe...
