    I checked your bios, it is RSA signed :(
    I don't know how to patch your bios safely.
    The risk of brick the PC is very high so I don't want to try.

    Sorry.

    Story of my life ;) Thanks for checking it out for me!

    Actually I have a loader I can try and I can recover a bad bios flash so I would be willing to test it out if you have nothing better to do ;)

    Use WINUPTP /S from command line to force the flash.

    Well, I flashed the modded bios and now I can see both WLAN cards. I am facing a very strange problem to power on the transmitter of both cards, I tried the laptop side switch both ways with no effect, does anyone know how to bypass this? Anyway I want to thank you very much for your time and effort. I also want to ask you if this modded BIOS has white listed only the 2 cards I asked or it has no white list so I can connect every WLAN card I want?

    I replaced 2 Device ID from the whitelist with the new IDs you provided, maybe the new cards are not 100% compatible with your notebook.
    If you have other WI-FI cards to test, provide the Device IDs and I will patch the bios again for you.

    I think it is not compatibility issue, i found on the internet some others facing the same problem even with the original wlan card. Anyway thank you very much for everything, I will inform here for the results.
