Thanks for your reply.It seems that I should pause the bios mod process when hear about the HW programmer.
See you later.
Best regards.

Adding another successful HW reflash to remove the whitelist in X230 BIOS v2.64:

In-circuit reprogramming using an SO-8 clip worked perfectly for me. No desoldering or 3.3V supply required.

Hi @all,

can you please help me to remove the wifi blacklist from my Lenovo x230t (Tablet)?
I want to install a Intel-AC 7260 Wifi-Card.
I'm currently running Lenovo Bios Version 2.62

The originally installed Wifi-Card is this:

Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205
PCI Vendor ID 8086
PCI Device ID 0085

Original BIOS Download Link from Lenovo:

My BIOS Backup(s):

And also please tell me how to flash your modded bios, or please provide me a link where I can read about the process.

Many many thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply!

Wow... Do you really need to do hardware-level modification to flash the new bios?

This is ridiculous!!! I can't do this ...

Thanks anyway for your quick help!

I should like to switch the WLAN-card on my X230T (Intel 6x05) for an Intel 7260 ac- one.

Is there a Chance to find a bios-mod, that allows for simple and straight install, although Lenovo has tried to stop that?

thanks for any help...

Hello ,

I have acquired an X230T. I can't believe that Lenovo still restricts the use of different WLAN/WWAN Modules...
I do have Bios Version 2.62, GCETA2WW.

-- Is there any Bios-Mod, that allows to use different WLAN/WAN-Cards?

-- Is there no chance of modding a Lenovo Bios in such way, that users, that are not used to programming can do it?

I just should not like to "touch" the systemboard itself other than by updateprocedures and/or simple exchange of exchangeable parts.

Thanks for any help and advice...
