    Hi guys.
    I got a HP 2530p, the bios is F.12.I want to change 'HP' Intel Wifi Link 5100 to 'non-HP' AR9287, but i got the "104" error message.
    How can i remove/modify the whitelist or wlan card's ven_id/p_id/subsystem_id?

    Thank you very much.

    I cannot do anything even with IDA/ADDCC/HEX or similar? I can do some test with anything?

    This method isn't for the new BIOS, is true?

    1- I sent you a PM on this subject yesterday because you'v made a request for EFI bios HP6735.
    2- old bios had been de-whitelisted
    3- This method IS for all HP InSyde bios

    Hi all the MDL community and specially to TTAV134, thank you very much for your Top hard work. Please sorry for my bad english, just want to comment, on insanelymac 6520s, 6720s, 6820s and 550 thread, we have been following you the last days to make the bios flash (to pass the whitelist) for rebranding our WLAN. However, I have a question about the HP 550, has EFI bios, that's why have non-whitelist mod? Because to DSDT level is identical to HP 65-67-6820s (InSyde). Thanks.

    Allright.. I tried the one for nc6400 intel.. Didnt work, now it wont show anything on the monitor and the led for caps lock is flashing, what to do?
    I dont have a diskettedrive, although i have an external usbdrive (shows as hdd in my computer). Can i try that one?

    Or whatelse can i try?

    Edit: I also only have a rom.bin file after extracting the bios update from HPs website.
