please help with dell inspiron 17N5721 built-in display problem---with clover-most work now

[kvonlinee]

Hi all!

I got a dell inspiron 17N5721

cpu is I5-3317U with HD4000

I try to put osx 10.8 on it. and I could get HD4000 show up as in "about this mac" but the built-in display have a little light and I can't see anything from the built-in display that.

I know it got HD4000  512 MB by share screen connect and it show nice desktop.

 

please hlpe me, what can I do and where can i start.

 

thank you very much first

You see Mac uses one of the four id's to detect HD4000 correctly with the connectors data, so this issue is common and for solving this you have to patch dsdt with four id's or try to inject device properties into boot.plist and try to see which one works for you. Send me your dsdt/ssdt dump based from here :https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1945-dsdtssdt-patching/ and I'll patch it then let you know

thank you very much for your reply EMlyDinEsH.
I will do that, I can't do it right now because the laptop need some repair on the hardware. when i have it back I will do that.

Can you list what works or not works for the system with your kexts and dsdt file.

hi everyone!

I have it last time and it is stuck to 10.8  and can't be update anything at al.

I try clover bootloader on stumble, and it is running 10.9.3 now, it is works everything, even lan, except the SD card and HDMI is unkown.

the clover bootloader require a bit of learning but turn out it is great.

if anyone like to try, I will write what i have and learn.

 

PS: I just clone OS from other desktop drive I have, and I have not DSDT also.
