Hi,

I have swapped the stock card for a Broadcom one, WiFi and Bluetooth are working seamlessly. At first I got handoff and airdrop to work, but now I can only send files from my iOS devices as the laptop doesn't discover any devices nearby.

 

When entering Airdrop in Finder, console throws multiple errors but I was unable to find anything regarding those particular error messages.

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

Ok, I see  All up and running, thanks a lot for your help guys!

Are there any hardware-specific steps to do that? Prior to asking for help I have tried with the generic guides available on different forums and this is where I arrived. Working after all, but apparently a little messy.

I removed the SSDT-Disable-DGPU table and now the dGPU is back. Attaching the zip:

I most likely messed up some SSDT patches while trying to disable the dGPU. I was trying to disable it with the _OFF method manually and probably injected it in the wrong place along the way. I think I'm going to give it another go. Thank you for looking into that!

 

I have eventually managed to fix the black screen issue by injecting EDID and setting ig-platform-id to 0x1620006. Thank you @Hervé, @Jake Lo and @eC//FrEaK for your invaluable help with getting my device to sleep properly  

Disabling them didn't make any difference. I've tried switching some other sleep/graphic-related patches in Clover but no improvement so far.

config.plist, I should just remove the other one, I only used it for testing a fix to another issue

After the wake? Yes, that's actually how I know the system is waking properly apart from the screen - when trying to adjust brightness with shortcuts (f5 and f6 without Fn for my laptop) I can hear the "blocked" sound because I'm in the login screen and apparently they don't work there.

I actually left it for an hour earlier today to see if anything happens but it was still dark after that time

Unfortunately, no luck either  I've read about similar problems happening with Skylake processors but it's Broadwell in my case.

Sure, here it is

Perhaps you were looking at the original debug archive, I've uploaded a new one a few posts back. I just checked and there's no IntelGraphicsFixup.kext in the cache

Actually this was the first thing I did - I'm already on that update. Thanks for the suggestion though

I completely forgot I had it... Thanks, now the Nvidia card is no longer present. Still, I'm getting black screen on wake. I've tried applying a DSDT patch for that but it didn't help.

Unfortunately that didn't help, I can still see it in SysInfo. Attaching a fresh dump.debug_24364.zip

Thanks, it actually did make a difference  After a while the fans stopped and it seems it went to sleep. I pressed a key to wake it, the fans started working again but the screen remained black, I had to force shutdown. 

 

It seems to me that the problem may be in the nvidia graphics card. I've been trying to disable it with SSDT patches but it's still present.

Thanks for helping me out!

1. I replaced it, it doesn't seem to make a difference regarding sleep

2. The pmset command returns 0 as the hibernate mode

Hi,

 

I'm running Mojave 10.14.6 on ASUS R556L laptop. I believe this is just a local model name for a bunch of laptops with X555L motherboard. I have managed to get most of the things working but I'm having problems with sleep.

 

When I press Sleep button, the only thing that actually goes to sleep is the screen. Everything else is still working (I'm able to play music using keyboard shortcuts). I am unable to turn the screen back on though.

 

Any help would be much appreciated, I have already tried numerous fixes but to no avail.

 

Edit: Forgot to mention I swapped the stock wifi card for the BCM94352HMB.
