Placing WiFi module that ain't in "whitelist" of HP laptop UPDATED! UPDATE AGAIN!

Maybe that would be helpful for someone.
I bought Broadcom 4322 mini-pci (half) wifi module on ebay. Previously I checked "compatibility" list for my laptop. I've downloaded "HP Pavilion dv7 Entertainment PC
Maintenance and Service Guide". And found this table:

But my laptop number is 4325 and it isn't fits to "5000 through 5099" and "4000 through 4299". But that is the document I've downloaded from official page. So the best from this list was Broadcom 4322. I got it very fast from China - 2 weeks. Module costs 8$ and delivery for 2$.
Now installing to laptop. That's pretty easy. But laptop says ERROR. Remove incompatible wifi module. That's because HP laptops have "whitelist" for compatible parts, and Broadcom 4322 isn't in this whitelist. All we need now is to download and install "patched" BIOS which will remove that "limits" for us. But it can be risky. My BIOS named "F.29" and file has name "sp55299.exe". I looked in google "bios f.29 whitelist" and found patched version named "sp55299_NWL_ByCamiloml.exe". After 10 minutes of thinking about risk to make a brick from my laptop I patched my BIOS. Laptop rebooted and works. I changed wifi card and it WORKS! Laptop shows "ERROR message" on startup for 1 second but still booting windows 8.1. And all I can say - speed of WiFi internet is boosted up.

UPDATE!
My laptop is a "brick" now. I turned on it yesterday's evening and not plugged AC adapter. When laptop shuts down because of empty battery - it turn on but all I can see is a BLACK SCREEN. OS don't boot. Be careful. I'm sad now.

UPDATE ONE MORE! 
I turned my laptop to life! Thanks to this manual:

Thanks those guy!
Previously I removed BIOS battery for a 10 minutes and changed WiFi card back to Braodcom 4313. And after USB stick was ready to USE, I got this image and was very happy:

IT'S ALIIVEEEEEEEE!!! :D

  And it's working fine.

New technics arrived :3

Silver Nikon FM2n. I got it! I watched for a black one also, but I have black Minolta X-700 and silver color is a little bit more universal - it "fits" with black lenses and with metallic also. I bought the body only, so it's without lens yet. Hope to buy soon. Until then - my Minolta X-700 is "charged" with Fujifilm PRO 400H.

Awww...these titanium shutter and legendary look! Cool. Minolta, I still love You :]

I love this film! So awesome colors - like SLIDE film, but easier to develop.

Fujifilm's ACROS 100 in Rodinal

Actually in ADOX baby Adonal ("baby" means small 50ml bottle). To shot 39 frames of ACROS 100 - 2 months were taken. Developed in ADOX ADONAL (Rodinal by ADOX :D). Developer was brown color, like STRONG coffee. And there was 1 issue: I don't sure how long I've developed film. I take smartphone. Set 8 mins. And whed display was about to dim - I tapped on it, and suddenly I've missed with my finger and clicked "CANCEL TIMER". Oh shiii.... And I rapidly set it to suggested time. Probably it was developed for 20-40 seconds longer. My old FIXER (AGFA Fix AG Plus) almost ended also. So after developing I've poured all reagents down to the home of ninja turtles :P Scanned, as always, on EPSON V750.

Third roll of AGFA VISTA 100

Previously I said (here) that I've got two rolls out of six. It was a LIE :D I found third roll. Couple of images from it:

ACROS 100 image

In future I want to print some cool t-shirt with vectorized Minolta X-700 and couple of film boxes. Today I've done ACROS 100 box. It was much easier than Velvia 50 box - less details here. It isn't 100% copy of original, but pretty close to it.

Velvia 50 UPD

There was one nice shot that I've made in cafe, but it was very dark. So I rescanned it, but too shiny at white.

latte and candies was really tasty

 

Expired AGFA Vista 100

We (with my friend which also loves film) have ordered in 2012 six rolls of expired AGFA Vista 100 (which has expired in 2008). Four years is nothing for this good German film - we thought so. I take two rolls. Fried said me: expose it as ISO 50, that's gonna be better for expired film. I exposed it as ISO 100 (as it film was 4yrs ago). And got nice results. When I desired to get more of this film - I don't found it anywhere. I found AGFACOLOR 100, but I don't like it (I still have 5 or 6 rolls of AGFACOLOR). But now I see that AGFA returns to develop Vista films again, not in Germany but it still good film.

AGFA Vista 400 from Japan

So,velvia 50 doesn't excite me as it supposed to do (if I'll try slide-film again that, most likely, will be provia 100f), but Vista 400 was pretty good. Even with changed place of manufacturing. I've tried Vista film earlier and it was very good. It was Vista 100, expired in 2008 and exposed in 2012 as is (as ISO 100, but my friend got good results when exposed it as ISO 50). And those film was "made in Germany". I'll post it a little bit later - need to lower DPI in scans of Vista 100 ('cuz there 6400dpi and it's pretty "heavy").

One tree liked by everyone. It's our "star" of this film.

Velvia 50. Ugh.

Too dark. Seems like "Velvia 50" is only for daylight. When the light of sun is enough. During my trip to L'viv was pretty rainy and cloudy. Maybe "Provia 100F" or "Veliva 100F" is much better for cloudy weather and for sunsets. Scanned on EPSON V750.

Radio tower in L'viv. Foggy.

Testing all new

Velvia 50 developed and awaiting of scan. It's costs a bit to buy it film, to deliver it, to develop where it was bought and deliver back, and then to scan. Whoah. All this "delivering" because there is only one place in Ukraine where photographers still can to develop in E-6. And I really was amazed when got developed Velvia 50, take in my hands, lifted to the light and saw positive, colorful, warm images ^_^
AGFA Vista Plus 400. Decided to try this one, 'cuz I have nice photos made on AGFA Vista 100 (4yrs expired and exposed as is (ISO100)). But those "old" AGFA was German, and now it's from Japan. Tomorrow I'll get scanned Velvia 50 and developed AGFA Vista Plus 400.
With AGFA Vista Plus 400 I also tested my new lens. MD Tele Rokkor 135/2.8. In MINT condition and really cheap it was.

I always take this peace of paper from the package and put into my camera's back (there's special "window"). So I always know which film is in THAT camera.

It was really cheap. And there was 15% committee of shop (so those guy got even less than I've paid). Hope it haven't hidden defects.

 

Fujifilm PRO 400H

One of my favorite films and one of my first films (it was 4th film; previous 3 were fujifilm superia 200).

My first PORTRA 400

Sweet film. I really love it. Next film will be Velvia 50, but it'll take a time to expose it. Hope my trip to Lviv (@18th of September) will suit for this purpose.

Have made vectorized image of film box just for fun (to print on t-shirt in future).

ADOX ADONAL test with ILFORD DELTA 3200 & AGFA APX 100

At least I've found time to develop two rolls but with one developing tank. So, I had these films:

• ilford delta 3200 (exposed at 1600 - less of grain I heard);
• agfa apx 100;

Developer - Adox ADONAL (50ml) and fixer is, as usually, AGFA FIX AG PLUS.

PORTRA 400

Decided to bought Kodak PORTRA 400. Not cheapest one (78₴). Hope for results that will cost more than money that I spent.

AGFA APX 100 waits for ILFORD DELTA 3200

Long pause. Holding one exposed roll of AGFA APX 100 to develop it together with ILFORD DELTA 3200 (as 1600). And waiting for ADOX ADONAL developer in august 5th.

Agfacolor 100 from a trip

Couple of new photos from my 6-day weekend. A lot of trains and railways. Used Rokkor 58/1.4 and Celtic 135/3.5. Scanned on Epson V750.

Unused island in Kakhovka reservoir.

New lens: Rokkor PF 58mm f1.4

I've got a new lens with awesome metal diaphragm ring. It have a lil' backlash and some fungus. But it doesn't affect on image. Very soon I'll get scans of test film (agfacolor 100). Hope it'll be OKay.

Agfa APX 100

It was very hard to push the film into tank (some why) - it has slithered on a half-way to the finish. Again and again. After 20 mins. film was in tank (at last!). Developed in Kodak's D-76  (btw. it was the day when developer has reached the expire date), stock, 9 mins. Fixer - Agfa Fix Ag Plus - 1+4, 3 mins. Scanned on Epson V750.

Fujifilm Acros 100 in Kodak D-76

My first manually developed b&w 35mm film. Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100. Developed in Kodak D-76 (dillution 1:1). With some faults, 'cuz I forgot to wash the film after developer, also the final washing wasn't proper.
