Lenovo T410si - No wifi, audio, Bluetooth or brightness control

enebasco · December 5, 2014

Greetings! I have successfully installed 10.9.5 on a Lenovo T410si following Jake Lo's tutorial, but I am still having some technical issues.

1. No Wifi - The BIOS has been updated & flashed. I have pulled a Broadcom BCM94321MC from my old MacBook Pro and have placed it into the T410si. System Prefs. > Networking recognizes that a card is present, but It will not allow it it be turned on. I made sure the switch is set to on on the front right side. I also tried disabling and re-enabling it in the BIOS as well as going to Network under System Prefs, remove and re-add wifi with no success.

It is identified in system information.

I see you still have the Intel Wifi card installed. Try removing it. Also what wires are you using to connect? The black and gray cables?

For audio, did you read pass the Updates section? You need to add HDAEnabler to o.c.b.p.

Hello Jake, Thank you again for your help in all this. Right now I am connecting by ethernet. I did put the Intel card back in just for testing as this model has 2 PCI Express Mini Card slots. I have now removed it connecting the black & gray cables, disabling and re-enabling it in the BIOS as well as going to Network under System Prefs, remove and re-add wifi and still no success. I alternatively used the blue pinkish (orange?) colored wires as described in the T410si Maintenance Manual pages 71-74 as well to no avail.
