Thinking about returning my y510p and getting it but one question.

What wireless card does it use? Can't find it anywhere. Only that it supports bgn networks

Can I restore back to the stock 2.07 firmware?

Flashing the firmware from Lenovo gives the error "The version of rom file isn't newer than version of bios."

Thank you.

EDIT: I fixed this and shared a tutorial on how to do it.

My post is currently awaiting a mod to approve it.

(My fix was submitted on Nov, 19, 2013 at about 9PM EST and should appear after this one.)

Am I allowed to post a reply yet?

If so, I will edit this post.

If not, I will PM you.

Ok, forget my last post that still hasn't been "approved".

I am not allowed to PM or post a reply.

If I am ever allowed to communicate, I will get back to you nicholas0444.

This is really stupid, forum admin!

how did you do this?

Is there any way I can roll back my bios version?

Hi,

Just received a y510p today. It has Windows 8, and I have an Intel 7260 card that has an IBM part number on it. Still, the y510p rejects it as unauthorized. The BIOS is 74CN44WW (version 3.05) dated 9/18/2013. The SMBIOS is 2.7. How can I get the machine to accept the 7260 card with this BIOS. Some of the earlier posts are a bit confusing.

Need help asap!

Thanks

Did you get this to work? I think I have the same bios version.

For those who have the 7260AC, how much better is it compared to the n2230? I'm thinking about getting the card and was wonder how much better it is.

I currently have the lenovo Y510p and the wireless card it came with (intel n2230) is really unreliable from my room, and requires me to be much closer to the router for a stable connection. So, I was wondering what card would be a good choice to replace it with? I was looking at the intel 7260AC, but I have still not decided. Any ideas/opinions on cards is much appreciated and will help in my decision.

How do I check what bios version I have? I want to remove the whitelist and install the intel 7260AC wireless card, but I'm not sure if my bios is one of the versions listed in the first post.

How do I check the bios version? I want to removed the white list but I'm not sure if my Bios version one of the ones supported in your first post.
