If you try using an unapproved device, it won't allow you to do anything until you remove it. Hi there you brought hope back to me because I almost gave up on how to remove whitelist from IdeaPad Y500 after doing so much trials and so many errors stuff. I have an updated bios V 2.03 on an IdeaPad Y500 Generation 2 with the 2 Nvidia 750m cards. So according to your quote above a modified Bios is required. Also svl7 wrote in the opening page of this long thread that: "if your laptop bios is version 2.02 or 2.03 you can safely use the 2.04 update". So so in simple steps how can I get first to version 2.04 and then to modify the resulting Bios to set me free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
