[REQUEST] Lenovo IdeaPad Z480 & Z580 (5FCNxxWW) Whitelist Removal

[data2318]

The Lenovo Z580 running Windows 8 won't boot with other wireless cards installed and will keep saying "Please remove unauthorized wireless card" until the card is removed. Someone please help removing the wifi whitelist check. I haved tried opening the BIOS using Phoenix BIOS editor but no luck.

Here is the BIOS file:

(This is a Phoenix BIOS)

Any help will be appreciated.

I have a Lenovo Z580 that has the Centrino Wireless-N220 wifi card in it. This card is 2.4ghz only, and I am surrounded by 5Ghz networks and the slow connection is KILLING ME! I am all lined up and ready to buy an Intel Ultra-6300 wifi card and use it - after I can secure a way to get rid of the whitelist in the system BIOS.

I have been able to find a thread about the Z570, but I want to be absolutely sure it is compatible with the Z580 before I try anything. After all they are two different systems. Any help you can offer would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

Still waiting for the chip in the mail. I'll flash the bios and let you know if it boots though

Ok I installed MS DOS on a flash drive (used this utility http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/467...reate.html ) and copied the files you sent me to the root of the drive. I cannot get my computer to boot to the drive at all. Help?
