I'm getting this error on my y500. I searched around and the only solution I've seen is SL7 helping directly. Anyone know how to fix?

Error 28: Protected Range Registers are currently set by BIOS, preventing flash access.

Please contact the target system BIOS vendor for an option to disable Protected Range Registers

Hello,

I'm a new member as well. Just purchased a y500, I'm hoping to upgrade my wireless card using the bios provided here. I'm a media center enthusiast although Microsoft has given up on it, so I'm not sure how much longer. I hope I can help sine others in regards to htpcs

I just installed the Intel Centrino 7260 last night. The only issue I had was the old drivers would not fully uninstall. I think if I had to do this again, I would have uninstalled the software prior to installing the new card. The updated drivers (16.0.5 or something like that) would not install over the old software and drivers. Even after using the uninstall (programs and features) and deleting the adapter from device manager. I had to go though the Registry to delete anything related to the ProWireless and Bluetooth associated only with the Intel adapter. After this, the new drivers would install. Otherwise a pretty easy and useful update.

I've done this as well using Acronis, just make sure after you get everything back up and running you switch to a AHCI controller and ensure TRIM is enabled. This will help to make sure the SSD is running at its fastest and lasts as long as possible.
