Hello!

I have a Dell E7450 running on Mojave 10.14.4

It is a Japanese version of E7450 with Japanese keyboard layout. I attached the layout picture so you can visualize the explanations below.

Thanks to the Jake's guide everything runs really smoothly, apart from this weird bug with two keys that are not being registered by the system. 

1) |, ¥, _ key to the left of backspace key: pressing it brings the same results as F3, incrementing the volume.

2) _, \, katakana symbol "ろ" key to the left of the Right Shift key: pressing it is not registered by the system in any way.

I tried running Key Codes to check and maybe reassign them in Karabiner, but pressing them brings no response and displays no key codes.

Could anyone advise how to troubleshoot next and help with it?

Thanks.

Thanks again for your help on this busy Christmas season! I received a new 1560 as you proposed and it works without any problems.

Thanks, Jake!

I tried resetting it and replugging the antennas, and checked in Fedora Linux, seems the card is not working after all. The slot is working fine as the stock Intel 7265 works fine in Fedora.

So I will go with DW1820A, looks like it is a better choice, hope it will work!

Thanks!

@Jake Lo

Thank you so much for your answer! I tried doing it and while I was repairing permissions I think there was a brief moment when the card was working, but then the system lost it again.

I acquired it from Broadcom directly, so it should not be a fake one..

My debug files are attached to the post.

Please refer to the Wireless & Bluetooth forum section. DW1560 is based on BCM4352 chipset which is not supported OOB and requires patching.

Hello! Thanks for replying to me. I am pretty new to the DSDT patching, so it was not that easy to find a concise guide on that. Do you think this one covers what I need to do? -> https://hackintoshpro.com/patch-dsdt-hackintosh/

So to rephrase, now that I have the kexts I mentioned in my first post installed, I need to patch DSDT with the code below using MaciASL, right? 

Will be happy if you could point me if my direction is right. 

Thanks!

Hello! I have successfully managed to clean install and run the latest version of Mojave. 

The only thing that is not working is the wi-fi module (DW1560). A system is showing me Wi-Fi: No hardware installed message.

Bluetooth is working at the same time, so hardware-wise it should work. 

I tried installing the following kexts to /L/E/ and rebuilding cache, but it does not help.

AirportBrcmFixup.kext

BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext

BrcmPatchRAM2.kext

FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext

FakePCIID.kext

Lilu.kext

Could you point me what to do?

For my EFI, I used the bootpack from the post here: 

Thanks in advance!
