[REQUEST] Lenovo G500 (78CNxxWW) Whitelist Removal

[mhk]

Thanks.
I get the following error:
PDR Region does not exist.
GBE Region does not exist.

Error 28: Protected Range Registers are currently set by BIOS, preventing flash access.
Please contact the target system BIOS vendor for an option to disable Protected Range Registers.

I've tried twice with FreeDOS and MS-DOS and I get the same error. How do I fix this problem? Lenovo distributes BIOS updates for installation via Windows, maybe I will have to install it from Windows? What do I do?

Thanks again for your time.

Flash from PURE DOS and Post scrennshot please.

Thanks for your reply.

I pressed Enter to flash after the Error and it worked perfectly, I'm now using my new Wi-Fi card.

Thanks a lot for helping me, sovem

I have a Lenovo G500 (NOT the 's') and have just ordered an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 to replace the OEM Broadcom 802.11n card.

From my short time of trying to learn about the whitelist, it appears as though there are 2 options:

1) Hack the bios to change the Hardware ID for the current approved card to that of the new card. The downside is that I'll be in the same boat if I ever have to replace that card again.

2) Hack the bios to remove the whitelist check (skip the "halt on unauthorized hardware" message)?

Seems like option #2 really is the best. I attempted to learn how to do the hack myself but can't seem to find the specifics that match the currently released bios (which is 4 mb)

So it sounds like simply pointing to the original BIOS update from Lenovo is all that is needed? If that is the case then the link is:

http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/download...D=DS036474

...which is version 2.01 (78cn23ww.exe)


According to the BIOS, the brand is Lenovo and I believe the model number is CB23281096


Unless there is more I'm supposed to do?
