Hey Jake

 

I am using the original EFI_Clover.zip and E5420.zip as the guide outlines

 

After removing /Volumes/ESP/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml it seems to be getting further with the progress bar going all the way and then frozen with the cancel symbol.

The last message displayed before the cancel symbol and scrambled graphics display is 

Still waiting for ? device

I can't read the ? part

It means it's no longer detecting your USB drive.

Boot to the Clover GUI, hit F4.

Then compress and upload the origin folder here. I'll patch the DSDT for you which is needed to get your USB detected at that stage.

/Volumes/ESP/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/Origin

Wow thats really fantastic thank you so much!

 

I couldn't take a screen shot using Shift + Command + 4 ,maybe because the audio is not working? 

 

I must boot using the USB pen and -no-zp . The battery status is displaying, I believe it is QE/CI, youtube works and it seems quite stable.

 

The next major step is try to get audio support kext and buy a wifi card.

 

Thanks for your help, I'm really happy with this laptop now 8-)
