got a C2D 1.66GHz T5500 667MHz Socket M, slipped straight in no problem. I have no idea why, but rectified my problem by running MyHack > create OS installer - after that finished I manually copied across everything from the D520 "extra" folder I downloaded from here, then running MyHack > MyFix (all) weird.. Then everything ran smooth as an androids bum, mouse fine, sound no1#, wireless (i had a Broadcom43xx) all good, battery, EDP worked fine, am posting from a Lion 10.7.5 updated . just wondering the USBBusFix=No , is it (=No) by default ?? is there any point running EDP before the combo update.. anyways , extremely extremely pleased.. donated two long bottles of beer, EDP and MyHack luv ya work thanks very much herve, with out your help I'd still be staring at my CORE DUO wondering whats wrong

g'day folks.. trying to breath life into my 520.. using your myhack method, select 10.7 add extra folder, (tried running my fix, tried not adding extra folder) boot off USB right after selecting language the mouse becomes unresponsive..except for fleeting moments when it springs back to life every 10 sec for a 1 second bursts..extrenal USB mouse does same. I can navigate with keyboard to get around this, always start fresh and erase drive (journaled ofcourse) all goes well when myhack asks me which extra folder to use at which point.. it hangs, once MyHack has asked me if i want to delete problematic kexts.. which is normal, but goes no further. I am running A08 core 2 duo (D520 previously had core Duo) 4 gig ram (also tried with 2 gig) removed wifi removed bluetooth have tried with SSD and normal HDD tried intsalling with 2 different USB sticks and off hard disk partition. I have an iFail lion disk and strangley the mouse issue is same. I have tried with out adding the extra folder and it still hangs same spot. I am going to try and use a different source as I am using a DMG image of lion have set up the BIOS same as thread here https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2038-bios-settings-d520/ I am very familiar with other install methods, but cant walk away from your install method when all the hard work has been done...extra folders worked out...sheeeesh!! any help at all, would be extremely appreciated

well off to get me a core 2 duo.. thank you, thank you, thank you !!

hey folks, cant for the love god get Lion on this D520, have stripped it down to no wireless, tried with and with out bootpacks. it seems when the "select your language" screen should pop up, my screen just goes blank. I know not all D520's mobo's are born equal, mine is a Core Duo , is this a problem ? some have a 945M and others a 945ML which dictates if it can handle a core 2 duo or core duo from what i have read. so to save me eons of installs I thought I'd ask if the CPU is my issue. my USB installer works fine on my HP desktop, have successfully done a D630 using your MyHack method and many other ML and Lion installs on various machines. but I just cant give up my old trusty D520 , its my precious !! I have tried an iFail LION installer out of fustration and the problem is identicle, its as if the graphics are not supported or when the GUI kicks in the display runs off to mumma. Just guessing here. in the pinned "D520 Lion install" thread the (preinstall guide) link is down. all the best brad
