Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source

Hi there,

After doing some research i found this forum and it looks like you guys are the best, so here i am asking this..

My system:

HP Pavilion dv6-6b51ea
BIOS F.1C REV A
Win 7 Ultimate 64x
WLAN Intel Centrino N-1030 (w/ bluetooth)

My question: Someone on another forum said that in the very latest BIOS updates, HP has removed the block for installing other WLAN adaptors, i would like to ask if that is correct or not, since i was planning to install an adaptor that supports 5 ghz networks as well, such as Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 for example (listed in the service manual currently, part #631956-001), or the Intel 6300 (although i think i don't have 3 antennas)..

anyway, if you could answer that it would be great, i browsed the Service Manual and it's there but then again, some people reported issues with part numbers so i wouldn't like to order something that doesn't work.

Many thanks for your time

^ If the white list still exists, then in all likelihood it is being enforced. Run the Phoenix Tool and it'll give you the report. This is the best way to know of the actually supported cards, because the manuals are known to have erroneous information.

thanks, i actually ran it and is still there, after some searching i found an alternative WLAN card

ok, then i was wrong... is there anyone that removed successfully the whitelist for dv6-6b51ea ?

thanks
