Hello,

It appears to be that your BIOS is decently unlocked already. I looked for existing hidden setup tables (already constructed menus that are just being hidden), but I did not find any. I will attach a list of all relevant strings (words, menu/setting names, setting options, etc.) from your BIOS image. If you are aware of any individual hidden settings that you want added that this notebook can have or you see the settings in the strings, let me know and I will add it.

I have also attached a screenshot of what your BIOS looks like from my end to this post. The screenshot was taken in Phoenix BIOS Editor (disclaimer: do not use PBE to modify your BIOS, it is only for previewing it - a hex editor is used for modification). (1) Can you see all of these menus and sub-menus on the left? (2) Are there settings in all of them? (3) In particular, are the settings on the right visible under the Config -> CPU menu? If any of these things are missing on your end, there are hiding functions making them not show up, and I can disable these functions.

While you investigate the answers to these questions, I will work on finding and removing the WiFi whitelist. I assume this is the error you would get if you tried to plug in a non-whitelisted WiFi card: "1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card". If you know if you get a different error, let me know. If you don't know, that is okay.

Hello,

Just a heads up, this next week is going to be slow for me with BIOS mods because I have family over and a lot of things going on.

Could you upload pictures of the Config Menu and the Config -> CPU sub-menu?

I have been working on removing the WiFi whitelist. That error is helpful. I am seeing that in your BIOS image. Right now, I am trying to figure out what references that error "1802: Unauthorized..." so that I can skip the reference and disable the whitelist check.

Haha thanks! I love it. I knew the edit probably had to be made somewhere in BIOSCOD6, but I was having issues locating the particular function that is the external reference from STRINGS where the "Unauthorized" string shows up.

I'll be camping for the next 1-2 days, so if you would like to release this mod, please go ahead. Otherwise, I will disassemble BIOSCOD6, verify your edits by looking at the functions they show up in, and then release the mod.
