Lenovo Y400 / Y500 - unlocked BIOS / wlan whitelist mod

7260 is as high as you'll be able to go since you're limited to pcie. Make sure you grab the ac version and not just the n version! -

Keep a backup .apk copy just in case! -
So I played with this today quite a bit, indoors only mind you since it's cold and crappy outside today. I ran some signal strength comparisons for about 6 points around the house (on different floors, using 2.4 and 5 GHz, n and ac, etc) and then did it again after swapping the antennas... The result is... Made no discernable difference what so ever.

They're swapped as the colour of the triangle corresponds to the colour of the antenna supposed to be connected. Having said that, the main and aux antennas usually go up either side of the screen panel, so it likely doesn't matter which is connected where. Attached is a pic of the card from my Dell laptop. Sounds like a good excuse to do some experimenting!

Y500 - BIOS corrupt - Need Help (I've done everything I can find)

Unfortunately it's unlikely that anyone will post their dumped bios image for you since they include a users specific Windows registration licence, etc. -

Hi John, yes this still does work. I can confirm as 8 just used this method to create and flash a modified 2.04 bios to a friend's Y500 today. Post back here if you're stuck and I can help out since I just went through it. -

Hello, I stumbled across your excellent forum with reading up on how to remove whitelist limitations on lenovo laptops... Unreal that such a needless restriction would be put in place but thankfully there are always folks that are willing to reverse engineer these things and share with the greater community. Thank you!
