HP Tm2-2100 unlock Insyde request

[p33pingt0m]

Hello,
After hours of searching, here I am. I'm a complete noob when it comes to this and I believe this forum is where I need to be in order to get my questions answered or pointed in the right direction.

synopsis

I have purchased a 16GB kit of RAM and to my dismay found out that my laptop does not startup due to hardware change. Through searching I believe I found that the culprit is the limited amount of access I have in the BIOS that HP so "gracefully" implemented. I also have a 'new' Core i7 and a 750GB Solid State Hybrid drive currently in transit and I fear that it will also fall prey to HP's BIOS restrictions.

If an abled member of this forum were to help me unlock the Advanced Menu would I then be allowed to add the new incoming hardware to the system??

or

Would I also need to have the whitelist removed? (not sure exactly what the whitelist holds or does)

or

Do I need to just return the merchandise and forget about upgrading?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I have:
