Hi everyone, it's been awhile 
I have a ThinkPad x130e Netbook (AMD version), that I want to add a MiniPCI-E SSD to one of the slots, pictured below (the empty slot):

The problem is, I've heard Lenovo has a lock-out to it -- what I want to do is flash the BIOS and remove this "whitelist" so I can install this card:

So, because I can't dump my BIOS (it does not recognize it by Universal BIOS Backup Tool 2.0), I wrote the version number down:
LENOVO 8RET52WW (1.15), 11/15/2011
In the BIOS, it does not give a brand-name, only ThinkPad BIOS, so I wasn't sure where to insert this thread
But first, I hope something like this is possible, and second, I would really, really appreciate any help or support from you guys
Thank you!
