nickelnoff Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Thanks - actually the "no external displays" was a user error ... all ports apart from HDMI are working. I checked back to my old Catalina install and HDMI was working but it was on the same framebufffer @2 as USB-C(DP) As for special graphics mode, Ouch, I just disabled this. I only get a blank screen now on laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelnoff Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 OK ended up resetting the CMOS battery. @Jake Lo - Any idea on how to change from: to: How to get Automatic Brightness Adjustment and change this icon to a laptop ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 7, 2021 Moderators Share Posted May 7, 2021 Add this for Automatic Brightness adjustment. I know it added the check mark there but don't think it actually works. As for the icon showing as an iMac, it's due to your SMBIOS. Make sure you have the correct serial #.... SSDT-ALS0.aml.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelnoff Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Yep can confirm it doesn't actually do anything Strange thing with the serial though. I checked the serial on https://checkcoverage.apple.com/ and it is reported back as: MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports). And the model is set to MacBookPro13,3... I'd love to find a valid unused serial but not sure that going to happen - checked for a good hour but they must be rare for a 4 year old model.

nickelnoff Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Any hints on how to install to NVME drive? The install crashes out at around 12 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 8, 2021 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2021 What model is the NVMe? Certain ones are not supported, see a list in Dortania's guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelnoff Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 It’s a Samsung Pro 950 512 GB. Ended up installing it. It just stopped part way through several times but kicked it off again. So all seems to be working now apart from an HDMI port which I’ll try and get working once I’m back at my desk next week. Cheers for the help !
