Yes it is a pain but at least there is a way around it.

[hhgeorges]

Yup,
I made an Haskintosh with the X230 and It works very well with OS X
except the wifi that is
the ivy bridge are nice because they are not under volt
also I like to start with the fingerprint reader no mac has that

Hi,

I'd like to install a new wireless card to my 5 years old laptop. I downloaded bios from my laptop using Raspberry pi, but I don't know how to remove the whitelist .
Please help my quest.

Thanks for such a quick answer!! I used a Raspberry pi to read the bios from my laptop instead of the soldering method.
The bios has been uploaded at https://spaces.hightail.com/space/LO3z6
Do I have to solder to write the whitelist removed bios?   I hope the Raspberry pi can write it back.

Thanks!!!

Hmm..bios from Universal Backup Tool 2.0 have 12 Mb size, may be you saved dump of EC (Embedded Conroller)?
Look carefully, there are 2 bios chips (Main and EC)
