[REQUEST] Sony Vaio SVE141 & SVE151 series (R0xx0D5) Whitelist Removal

[oxin]

I also taped the PIN #20 . Nothing happened.
Can someone help me unlock full bios setting?

Just a quick note to say I encountered same problem when I tried 7260(N), 6200 and AR5B22 wifi cards, where drivers successfully installed in Windows 10, but Windows reported Wifi was OFF. No way of turning it on. No Bluetooth detected in Device Manager.

I had several dual band N600 AR5B22 (Acer, Fujitsu) to experiment. I isolated pins 20 (wifi disable) and 51 (BT disable) on by carefully cutting the thin PCB track leading to the pad, instead of the usual method using tape to mask off the electrical contact on the mini-PCI card.

Model: SVE151E1M (SVE1512W1ESI)
BIOS: R0150D5

Wifi and Bluetooth are now working. Using latest (albeit old) Win 10 wifi and BT drivers from 'ath-drivers dot eu' website for AR9462.

I didn't try the Intel 7260(N) because it is N600 card like the AR5B22 cards.

Only minor issue I had was Win10 insisted there was an AR3012 Bluetooth in Device Manager even though old AR5B225 had been replaced. Eventually deleted it and Device Manager reported correct Bluetooth device.

Hello,

I have a Sony SVE14124CLB with BIOS R0170D5 and though it recognizes the wifi card in windows (an mpe-axe3000h), the wifi toggle won't stay turn on, it won't even budge after a few tries. I´ve read somewhere that even if the card gets to windows and is properly shown in device manager, some Sony bios make a last minute arrange to prevent it from working. 

Do you guys know if I need a whitelist removal o if it may be a software issue? 

I´ve already tried installing windows back again. 
I´ve plugged the wifi card a few times. 
I know it works because I used it a couple of months ago on a Lenovo G480(whitelisted by pythonic from this forum).
I´ve already tried downloading the latest drivers from the vendor. 

Nothing successful up to this point. 

Thanks in advance for any help and have a nice day. 

Germán.
