To continue disassembly requires taking off the self-adhesive rubber feet by carefully peeling them off.Īt this point, it’s best to remove everything within reach – unscrew and remove the wireless card, carefully unclipping the antenna leads and unthreading it from the case.

As I have previously done this, I didn’t bother doing it again. Sliding the latch further to the left allows for the rear vanity cover to be slid off.Īt this point, you can install the new wireless card and take note of the whitelisting message. The first step is to slide the latch across to release the battery and remove it. As a result, a full disassembly is required, which is risky, potentially damaging and requires some intuition.

Where some people have been lucky to find their BIOS flash chip is in plain sight and easily accessible, it seems that I’ve been cursed to play with models where the chip is on the other side of the board. I wondered if the same principles or techniques would be effective against my particular dm1. While other pre-patched BIOS for certain dm1s exist, none of them are for this exact SKU, and I had previously ended up in BIOS recovery after flashing them, so I knew that route was ineffective. After successfully bypassing the whitelist in my Probook 4525s with the help of Dragy, I felt that it was probably worth trying the same technique on my other whitelisted HP, a Pavillion dm1-4108AU.
