Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source

My laptop came with a crappy Intel 5100 wireless card. I'm looking to upgrade to the Intel 6200. Upon boot up, I got the 104 unsupported wireless device.

I've read through the guides and have a rough idea what to do but scared to death of bricking my system as it's my work computer. I'm a freelancer so it's everything to me.

I got far enough to get my computer to boot with the 6200 after swapping it in at the boot mode select screen and I was able to get this information on the (6200) new card:

Vendor: 8086
Device: 422C
Subsys: 13018086

Bios link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softw...ob-88285-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=4079127&sw_lang=

I'm at the point of compiling a modified bios for flashing. Kind of confused because I don't see a rom file like mentioned in some guides and the 2 ".fd" files that I've extracted are the same size.

Thanks in advance for any help

The original vendor info with the 5100 installed:

Vendor: 8086
Device: 4237
Subsys: 13118086

Thanks

Look in bios repository, whitelists section, there is one no whitelisted bios for sp50600. Link is in green in my signature

Thanks for the bios. Good news is that it didn't brick my system and my WLAN ID shows as "N/A" in the new bios.

Bad news is that the system instead of giving a 104 error just hangs with the new card inserted. Not sure what else to do at this point..

If you put original card? what does it do? hangs or boots?

It boots with the original (5100). Small chance but I don't think the 6200 is bad as it was brand new.

I see... i remade the patch entirely from scratch, that bios was not good for 7009 platforms.

This one should work flawlessly.

You are the man! Verified and working!

Hello, could someone help me with this issue please? 

I have an HP Envy 1110ea running Windows 7 64Bit which uses the following
BIOS: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50600.exe. 

I cannot afford to replace this Laptop yet. 

I recently upgraded the Processor to an i7-920XM, I have installed 16GB of Ram to keep me running. 

However I am unable to upgrade the GPU on the Motherboard (ATI-5830). 

I purchased a GDC Beast V8.0 and mini PCIe to HDMI adapter in the hope I could run the GDC Beast adapter into an old AMD R9 280x for OpenCL work. The adapter is shown here: 

https://www.banggood.com/Mini-PCI-E-Vers...11222.html

If I remove my Wireless Card and I connect the GDC Beast cable and adapter and R9 280x via the mini Pcie Slot for the Wireless Card and I try to boot into Windows 7 I get a blank screen on the laptop and no output from the video card at all. 

If I just connect the GDC Beast cable (the HDMI side disconnected)  I see Error 107 complaining that the Wireless Card is not HP approved or is missing.  It asks me to press any key to continue. I can then boot into Windows 7 64bit but I cannot see the R9 280x or the GDC Beast Adapter. 

I think this behaviour may be because the Wireless Card is whitelisted, and since the GDC Beast adapter is not on the Whitelist or the Wifi Card is removed ... the mini PCIe port gets disabled if I enter continue and boot into Windows 7. 

I downloaded the following and updated my BIOS in the hope that it would ignore the check for the wireless card and let me run with the GDC Beast Adapter and R9 280x instead: 

https://www.bios-mods.com/BIOS/index.php...telists%2F&download=sp50600_NWL_ByCamiloml.exe

However running the above modified BIOS I see the same behaviour - I still see the 107 error if I just connect the GDC adapter cable or I get no video output at all if I connect the GDC adapter cable and Adapter and R9 280x card. 

I forgot to mention that the GDC Beast adapter and R9 280x works fine on an older Toshiba Laptop I have, I simply removed the Wireless Card and I connected the same setup and it works fine. The issue is not the GDC Beast Adapter. 

Any advice / help really appreciated. 

Thanks.
