scram69 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 21 hours ago, Jake Lo said: DW1510 does not have Bluetooth so you must be using another device for Bluetooth. If you have Bluetooth working prior with BRCM*, then try upgrading the kexts. https://github.com/acidanthera/BrcmPatchRAM/releases It's actually a BCM94322 that is labeled "DW1510". They have been dirt cheap for several years now on flea bay. Thanks for the pointer to the updated kexts from acidanthera. I'll give them a try.

scram69 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hi Herve, Yes - thanks, I did come across your bootpack when I was trying unsuccessfully to get my wifi working again. Of course the wifi issue had nothing to do with Clover. However, I found that your Clover files caused my screen to go extremely dim about every 15 seconds, and I needed to constantly punch up the brightness. At that point I guessed I needed to be on BIOS A20 in order to get your setup to work properly (my E6230 is still on A11). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 10, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2019 Indeed, I'm running latest BIOS A20 + A19's patched DSDT. With regards to screen brightness, make sure you've install the Clover NVRAM options to save settings. You can then check backlight level up with command: nvram -p or nvram backlight-level I certainly always obtain the same brightness level (and audio level to that effect) on startup/restart as I had on shutting down.

scram69 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 OK, so I was successful at getting Bluetooth working with my BCM94322 "DW1510". I used acidanthera's latest kexts, but because I was too lazy to rebuild the cache, I put them in Clover for injection (the "preferred method according to the readme). Following the instructions, I used BrcmFirmwareData.kext instead of BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
