[REQUEST] Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E531 (HEETxxWW) Whitelist Removal

[kiit0s]

I'm looking to remove or modify the ethernet adapter whitelist on my Thinkpad Edge E531 with BIOS version HEET36WW (1.17) in order to use a new 5GHz compatible intel ethernet card.

I will attach a copy of my bios below.

I will note, I've not done any kind of modification like this in the past. The article I read on dumping the BIOS flash using Intel ME told me to check if I could not only read the bios, but also write to it. Unfortunately writing encountered an error indicating that the program could not write to the flash due to protected range registers set by the BIOS.

I'm including this information because, while I can manually unlock those permissions, I don't know if this will be necessary for this modification (although it seems like it will be). Could I get any kind of advice on this?

Thanks.

Hi
How did you get this file?
Do you have a SPI-programmer?

[sinatem]

Yes, I have a spi programmer.
I removed the microcircuit and read it.
There are two of them, I understand that you need exactly 4 MB.
It is located immediately below the keyboard.

Hi,

I have a E531 with BIOS 1.33 (HEET52WW) and want to install an unsupported WiFi card 5Ghz.
I would be very glad if you could remove the whitelist protection from my BIOS.

Attached are the dumps using Universal Bios Backup Toolkit 2.0 & BACKUP_Tools19n
