AK3V (J4125) unlocked BIOS?

Hi,

I just bought AK3V (AK3V - J4125, 8GB, 128GB). Great little machine.

I would like to buy few more of those, but, I have very special requirements - internal audio, and internal WiFi/Bluetooth must be disabled.
Normally I do that in BIOS settings. AK3V does not give me such option.

Is is possible to get a bit unlocked BIOS, so internal audio and internal WiFi/Bluetooth could be disabled?

Thx,
Mir

You can set these disabled options in the system. Although Microsoft will make a lot of useless updates, they also bring more features.

Yes, I know windows is allowing me to do that. But I need to do that in BIOS. Devices must be disabled before I boot Windows. Otherwise I cannot boot at all (local policy).

So - How can I do such simple thing, like disable audio and wifi/bluetooth devices in BIOS?

You can uninstall these drivers from the device manager.

You can try to unplug wifi antennas - to "disable" wifi/bluetooth signal.

The antennas are connected under black tape:

Nick, thank you for your answer.

Cutting off the cables does not equal disabling device. So, you could same way suggest me, to "try eat potato and check, if that helps".
And - I disconnected everything I don't need from the device. I need access to BIOS.

Anyway, I found other and even 7 millimetres smaller device, with full BIOS access. So my problem is solved by buying simply other computers.

Regards,
Miro
