Ciao!! Happy New Year!
So my laptop is a Sony Vaio SVE1511MFXS
BIOS Version: R0220E5
Intel AC7260HW Wifi Card
Recently I purchased and received my Intel AC7260 but it won't work unless I taped pin 20, and the bluetooth wont function unless I taped pin 51.
I've read that removing the "BIOS whitelist" is the solution to making this wifi card fully compatible/function without tape.
I found this method:

But I fear damaging my machine so any intel assistance would be helpful because sony no longer offers any support whatsoever for vaio as seen in attached image.
Thank you

There is no support here for a sony bios.
