I have 2 Dell E6520's both have the i7 with Intel graphics and 8GB of RAM. I have tried the myhack tool with the proper bootpacks and it will go through the initial pre setup but never gets to the setup screen. I have done both the -v, -x, -v -x and tried different USB ports also. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I tested it on my E6430 with NVidia graphics and I get to the point where I can install but I don't want to put it on this laptop as it's the one I use for work all the time. I looked around and can't seem to find much on it but after trying for hours and hours I don't know if it just won't work with the Intel graphics or what's going on. Only difference between the 2 is one has a webcam and other has illuminated keyboard. So i figure I'll ask the experts on here for any advise. 

I'd like to know also

You cannot run the Combo updates?

 

Nope, I can start at 10.7.1 and it won't install that or any of the others.

Thanks for all the replies. I did a repair of permissions and that fixed it but I can not update from 10.7 to any of the updates.

Everything installed fine on 10.7 but when running EDP when it gets to the part to configure I get this error

no real benefits to 10.6.8 actually but it can update to 10.6.8 it might break wifi. and if your using sleep enabler it might keep you from booting with a kp because of the 10.6.8 kernel. unless you have sleepenabler one that's 10.6.8 compatible. that's if your even using sleepenabler... lol hope it made sense

 

Yes it does make sense, I am glad I waited for your reply because I will for sure use the sleep on this. It doesn't look like I can update to 10.6.6 but if there's no real reason to update I'll stay where I'm at. Thanks so much you've been most helpful

lion needs core 2 duo minimum.

 

Yeah I read that after I posted, what about to 10.6.8? I don't want to mess anything up by doing any updating and I seen a post that said it was okay to update to 10.6.6 but I only have the option for 10.6.8

on a cold boot you will have to input a password but there is an option to bypass password on wake,,, there is also an option to bypass wake and reboot but it does not work. it will actually take longer for the bios to get to the logon screen in selected. as far as closing the lid. i don't think osx has that feature in energy saver pref like windows does in power plan setup. the wifi light do not turn on in 10.6 like they did in 10.5 but bluetooth should light up if it's active and installed .

 

Thanks, I have not put in a bluetooth module yet but I know I have an extra one I'll probably put in. As far as updating it anymore is that possible? 10.6.6 or Lion?

Okay I installed the EDP again and now sleep works. Is there a way to set the bios up so I don't have to input a password? Not a huge deal but would be nice. Also is there a way to have the laptop stay on when the lid closes or not? Last question, is there a way to get the WiFi and bluetooth lights to come on? I'd like to update it to 10.6.6 but don't know if that will mess anything up or not or if it's even possible to get Lion on here since I don't have a Core 2 Duo, just a Core Duo on this one.

Okay I installed the EDP and most of the fixes and then ran the commands to enable it and made sure wake from USB is off and still nothing. The way it looks is the system is still on but the monitor will not kick back on. On the EDP I seen 2 options for making sure sleep works and ran those right after I installed it. So far nothing is working. I really don't want to have to re-install everything since it takes forever to install all my stuff so I'm hoping there are other suggestions. I'd be happy if I could just close the lid and open it with the power remaining on all the time. Either way but closing the lid just forces me to shut it all the way down with the power button.

I updated the BIOS and now have that option and it's not enabled and the sleep still does not work. I re-ran the commands and rebooted and still nothing. Okay one thing I'm lost is in this, * Use latest EDP. What is latest EDP mean?

make sure in the bios settings you have wake from usb off. then run in edp, fixes, sleepfix

 

I have no wake from USB option in the BIOS. The closest thing is USB emulation.

Okay I installed 10.6.0 just fine and everything works fine and I went through the steps to get the sleep to work and it's still not working. If I press the power button to put it to sleep or close the lid it just does not go to sleep. I have the Intel video version of the D620. What am I missing here?

 

I have put a check in use secure virtual memory and then opened the terminal and followed the steps, Then I set a system password in the BIOS and restarted it same thing. Is there something I'm missing here?
