    I bios unlocked and enabled the custom undervolt menu on 1.44 bios using a ch341 bios programmer. This way I set the undervolt via the bios rather than throttlestop.

    Here's the link to the uefi patches which are used to unlock the bios. https://github.com/digmorepaka/thinkpad-firmware-patches There's a very short and undetailed guide how to apply the patches to your bios. But just know that you need an external bios programmer like ch341a

    First thing is to verify that the thunderbolt firmware is up to date and that both ports are working. Start here https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/br/en/solutions/ht508988. Then, if you want, you can buy these two and use these equipment (Ams1117 3.3v ) > aliexpress.com/item/32838236408.html with my ch341a > aliexpress.com/item/32841448145.html to make the bios mod (this will work for cards of wifi better wifi 6 and hackintosh) the patches are here (https://github.com/digmorepaka/thinkpad-firmware-patches), (it is possible to clean the intel ME) too, if you can't do it, don't risk it, ask help here in the community. I suggest backing up your bios and also the thunderbolt bios. Here is another topic from a colleague in the community and in it there is a pdf of mine where to check the cfg-lock to enable or disable.

    Pretty sure the whitelist for wifi is long gone, if not, there's always patches. Not for newbs admittedly.
