HP Bios Whitelist

[motzar]

Hello, I'm here raising an issue on HP Bios whitelisting. I have a 2016 HP15 laptop that I recently discovered has a bios whitelist when I thought HP removed all the Bios Whitelists on their newer laptops. I was able to make my laptop a Hackintosh and since the WI-FI card preinstalled didn't actually work with Mac OS and was quite slow I ordered a newer better wifi card only to realize it can't boot with a different wifi module installed. I really need a fix for this because I can't really buy a new wifi module as the default one installed byHP doesn't actually work anymore and the one I have doesn't allow the laptop to even boot yet it works properly. please help with this issue.

Hi

Nice  " I ordered a newer better wifi card " and the help you want with an unknown WiFi adapter is ????

First:- Turn off the computer, press and hold the PWR button for 4 seconds.

Then - Leave only keyboard and mouse connected, disconnect all externally connected
devices such as Docking Station, USB storage devices, displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.

Next - Press and Hold the Power button for 15 seconds to Hard Reset.
Rinse and Repeat

NOW begin checking/testing/proving the Hardware is fit for purpose.

Power on your PC, press ESC (repeatedly), then F2 at the prompt.
Choose System Tests (Fast Test does a 4 minute hardware check).
AND/OR
HOW DO I USE DIAGNOSTICS?

HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows is a Windows-based utility that allows you to run diagnostic tests to determine if the computer hardware is functioning properly. The tool runs within the Windows operating system in order to diagnose hardware failures. HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows comes pre-installed on new HP computers, but if not on yours, download here:- http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp93001-93500/sp93457.exe

Sorry, the Wifi card I purchased was a Broadcom BCM94352Z... And honestly I've tried everything to make it work but it gives off an error very time I boot using the Broadcom Wifi Card. I'm running a Hackintosh right now on my HP laptop, "macOS" for developing iOS apps because my MacBook died and I haven't been able to replace it yet so this was my only solution. But I can't use wifi now because macOS only supports certain cards and the Realtek one that my laptop shipped with isn't, supported. I bought the Broadcom wifi card and realized there's a bios whitelist.
