madmax Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 H I was wondering if this exact type of Dell notebook would be compatible as it is not exactly the spec from the compatibility list. DELL Latitude E5520, Intel Core i5-2430M, Intel HD 3000 Please advise. Madmax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 8, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 8, 2014 You'll need the SSDT specific to your particular i5-2430M CPU for sure, but there's a good chance the rest will be Ok. ssdt_i5_2430m.aml.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdamnit Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 This machine is very similar to the Inspiron 3520, actually. Its like a combination of the 3520 i5/HD4000 and the 3520 i3/HD3000. You might take a look at that guide, or another similar machine's guide and adapt it to your system. Just be sure that you don't use another machine's DSDT/SSDT and that you remove those files from the bootpacks/Extra's you try. Also be aware that you'll need to edit your DSDT for the dual-link fix if your resolution is over 1366x768, you'll need to rename GFX0 to IGPU, and you'll need to run the "Brightness fix" (HD 3000/4000) in order to boot with proper graphics support and have the function keys work properly. Feel free to ask if you need help. It's why we're here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hi bobdamnit, would it be sufficient to use the extra from the latitude 5520 from the compatibility list plus the ssdt file that hervé attached? at least to start with. Plus the dsdt from here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2559-e5520-bootpack-problems-with-intel-hd-3000-hd-1920x1080/ because my notebook has this resolution? Please advise Madmax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please advise Madmax Try this boot pack. Included Herve's ssdt, and added dualLink to the EDP DSDT. Extra.zip Build your installer with my hack. Once finish, launch myHack again and select install Extra. Point to this folder and select your Installer as the Destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
