    Good Morning!!!

    I would like someone who knows, if I could change Insyde's "F.1B Rev.A" bios, and put the advanced options, and also disable the Whitelist, so I can use other equipment in the mini PCI-E, such as a EGPU.

    The model of my notebook is HP 14-d027br Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)

    Your model uses RSA signed bios, so you can't flash back modified bios.

    Is there anything to be done? I really wanted to use an EGPU on my laptop, can I install an old bios from another laptop? Do you know anyone who can remove the RSA signature whitelist?

    Well with more searching in this thread and the great advice of Serg for providing a link on a guide by CodeRush to remove the security checks I no longer get boot to black screen with flashing caps lock I can boot to my modified Bios. It accepted my WiFi ID in place of one of the others listed in the 1540 module listed above in my prior post but now complains about the Bluetooth Code 704. I cannot find either the Vendor/Device or Mac Address of the Bluetooth in this module 1540. Any hints on what/where to look for to change the ID for the Bluetooth? Both the old and new cards are Combi Wifi/BT. No hints what so ever on the original WIFI/BT on what to look for the BT portion. Can't figure out where the whitelist would be for the BT part of the Combi card or maybe model number or something else being used?

    Even after I modified the module to skip the whitelist check, it actually only removes the check for the WIFI card alone and not the BT portion of the Combi card. There must be another whitelist check for BT in that same module I modified.

    I use to play around with IDA pro and tried to understand it how to debug and understand the graphical view, it will take some time but I will solve this on my own!
