    Dell OptiPlex 7040MT: video and USB issues in Catalina 10.15.4

    in The Archive

    Posted

    Hello,  i m having some issue with the video and USB. by using Jake Lo boot pack i was able to install Catalina 10.15.4. after the install i m getting [IGPU] Hash data from ME never returned, status = 1, doing retry#, to resolve this i had added boot args -disablegfxfirm

     

    i have added dell PCIe wifi card with DW1820A at slot one, there is a cable connecting the PCIe card to the onboard USB port for bluetooth, but i m not able to detect any bluetooth device. i have tested with windows and it's working just fine. also when i dismount a USB drive. look like others USB port become un useable.

     

    Bios: 1.15.5

    Clover revision: r5115

    Catalina 10.15.4

     

     

    Whats working:

     

    • Speaker (Internal)
    • Internal USB port (HS12) it was disable from the bootpack
    • Wifi (DW1820A)
    • Bluetooth
    • Handoff

     

    Whats NOT working:

     

    • Sleep (Screen stay black after wake) pending to add a video card
    • Hotspot from Iphone. i do see my phone listed under wifi icon, but i can't connect to it. not looking to resolve this

     

    edit:

    Hello Tubardus

     

    u reminded me when i started trying to do my 7490, u r running into same problem i had 6 month ago trying to built my 7490. in a short answer. use a DW1560 WIFI and never touch any DW1820A. this been said many time here or other place. i didn't believe not to use DW1820A and i end up having all the 4 version and i still wasn't able to get it working. with all the money and time i really wish i have listened and use a card that work out of the box

     

    i m almost sure there are atleast 2 diff type of motherboard. took me almost 2 week to get my 1st boot going. and the problem was only 1 out of the 3 USB will boot the installation USB. i think we have the same type of motherboard =D

    Hello,

     

    I've DW1560 installed on my Latitude 5480 (specs in my sign), wifi works perfectly but BT doesn't. BT can discovery (slowly), do pair but can't not keep the connection (please check this video for more details: https://streamable.com/gxsh1)

     

    BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext are installed to L/E.

     

    Can you guys please help?

    Yes Jake, i did install BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext to /L/E, but it didn't work, and then i got a DW1560 today from the mail. so i installed DW1560 to see what happen. it's working just fine with out bluetooth. when u pointed to me it could be a USB problem i was digging around and look like BrcmPatchRam2.kext and BrcmFirmwareData.kext in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other may work. i just want to make sure if it's ok to remove BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext before i started something stupid.

     

    BTW 3 more thing don't work

    the card reader

    when i close the lid. the laptop will go into sleep. but when i open the lid again. don't look like i can wake up the PC. i press on keyboard didn't wake up the laptop. i have to press on the power once to wake up the laptop again. is this normal ?

    i m able to change volume level from F1 to F3, but F4 to F12 don't work. i think it's the key mapping. how can i look into this ?

     

    Jake, thx alot for helping me up to get almost fully working laptop running Mojave, i will up date the 1st post with all the file, maybe someone may have a use of it, PLZ check your PM

    i m trying to use DPCIManager to Repair permissions and rebuild cache, a log windows pop out but show nothing.

     

    where do i put CopyToLE ? on the efi boot partition or the mojave drive ?

     

    look like there is something wrong with the wifi/AirportBrcmFixup.kext. i was able to see the wifi icon and i was able to search for my wifi SSID. but then once i put in the password everything just hangs. i had to force shut down the laptop
