[REQUEST] Lenovo ThinkCentre M73 Tiny (FHKTxxAUS) Whitelist Removal

[JumpyZot]

Hello,

I am coming to you for help.

I have searched all over the net to find out how to whitelist an Intel 7260HMW wifi card to my Tiny M73 but it turned out to be a failure.

I would really appreciate if you could help me to integrate it.

Thanks a lot!

Hello
I'm planning to make a pfsense router on my M73.
I bought a LAN M2 card (RLT8111F) on aliexpress.
After replacing WLAN -> LAN error 1802 appears.
I think that clearing the whitelist will help to recognize the new card.

UPDATE: THIS IS NO LONGER NECESSARY. I LEARNED ABOUT UPDATING THE MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER TO "INVALID" AND IT WORKED
THE SYSTEM COMPLAINS ABOUT THE WIFI MODULE THEN PROCEEDS TO BOOT AND IT WAS DETECTED PERFECTLY BY WINDOWS

Hello, can you please mod my bios to allow an (offbrand) Intel AX210 card or bypass the WiFi/WWAN whitelist entirely?

Hello,

Thank you for this great news!

Can you please tell me what process you followed so that i can do the same as you?

I have the same reference as you.

Thanks you so much for your help  !

Best regards

Hello, just flash the BIOS update from https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/ca/en/downl...-10ax-10ay
Follow the instructions provided.
When the update asks if you would like to update the model number and serial number, answer yes and write in INVALID for both.
Please update the thread if this worked for you.

I can confirm that what Agx42 instructed works a 100% on Lenovo ThinkCentre m73.
I ordered a 5Ghz wifi card, got the error 1802.
I was lucky to stumble upon this forum and find the bro Agx42 and i followed the instructions and it worked flawlessly.
I downloaded the bios update from Lenovo's own website, i followed the readme file instructions within the extracted folder called FLASH.

I changed my model number to: INVALID
I changed my serial number to: INVALID

My wifi card is working great on the lenovo machine and i now know lenovo is cancer so i will never ever buy lenovo or any of the big corporation pcs again.

They dont love their customers, they just want to make our lives tedious and frustrating. Nah thanks man.

But great that it works.

Thanks a bunch Agx42. Big bro.

Merci beaucoup pour cette méthode qui m'a permis de passer enfin au wifi 6ghz.
J'ai deux lignes d'erreur au démarrage :
Erreur 00CE : le type de machine et le numéro de série sont INVALIDES
Erreur 802 : Une carte réseau non autorisée est branchée – Éteignez et retirez la carte réseau.
La séquence de démarrage de fabrication sera effectuée si aucune sélection n'est effectuée

Puis: Ckecking Media Presence (6 secondes)

Au final Windows se lance et tout fonctionne.

Une idée pour se débarrasser de ces messages d'erreur ?

Encore MERCI.

I have the same problem when i add lan card (change wifi to lan adapter).

The only one bug is double beep on start or reboot PC.
