I has been a long since to write to all. Seven plus years. I hope that I'll be ready to learn. My computer skills needs some work a little (OK, a lot). My speech lacks, and I my jokes are I flat but I'll get by. See you soon.

I assume you mean smcReadKeyAction messages. It appears to be an issue with your FakeSMC missing keys or a conflict with the keys. Can you post error logs?

Are you seeing a AppleIntelE1000e.kext in your Extra/Extensions folder?

Please list the specs of your laptop, to include which i5 processor, graphics and display it has.

Was that the cause of your issue?

Did you follow this Guide? : https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/3112-dell-latitude-e6410-mavericks-guide/  If so, under the create the installer section, did you read from #22 and on regarding Intel graphics? The installation procedure is different if you have NVidia graphics.

My understanding (mind you, not from personal experience), is that this hasn't been corrected and is exhibited in only the half height version of the card. The link was to an older post, but seems to still be occurring.

My understanding is the AR9380 half height card is recognized by the system, but for whatever reason, cannot connect detect networks. The full sized card has no problems detecting networks.

It's possible the either your USB is bad or your image is corrupt. Try remaking your installer with a different flash drive and/or image.

Apple has announced a new program that allows anyone to test their Beta builds, not just developers. You can have access to Beta builds and offer input starting today and with the new 10.9.3 Beta build released yesterday. KEEP IN MIND THAT SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE BY CONTRIBUTING BUG REPORTS TO APPLE, YOUR SYSTEM INFORMATION (READ: SOFTWARE USED) WILL BE ACCESSIBLE! More information here: http://9to5mac.com/2014/04/22/apples-new-program-lets-anyone-not-just-developers-test-os-x-beta-builds/.

 

If you are currently unable to reinstall Windows, it will be easier to follow the guide I mentioned. After you are able to download/borrow Windows you can install both OS's on one drive using your current key. Boot into Windows and at the Dell splash screen, it will indicate your current BIOS version along the bottom of the screen. If you need to downgrade the BIOS you can from Dell's website. 

Again, if you can fill in some of the blanks, we can be of more help. What processor have you got, and which graphics do you have, HD3000 or HD4000? You likely have an Intel Wi-Fi card, so yes, it will need to be replaced. Look at the link in post #10 and go to section 2b, it gives you instructions for booting your Windows install from AHCI mode, eliminating the need to switch each time you boot a different OS.  Try booting into myHack (it will be in your Applications folder now) and choose to run myFix (the Full version) to see if that helps the graphics. Also update Chameleon (easy was is to install Chameleon Wizard).

If you have Windows previously installed in ATA mode and you would like to be able to boot both systems without have to go into BIOS and change, Conti has a workaround to allow you to boot both in AHCI mode here: http://myhack.sojugarden.com/2009/12/dual-booting-demystified/ just go to section 2b.

not sure what you mean. Another question my windows install is on ata mode not AHCI, When I boot i just switch modes

When you created your USB installer, there is an option to add an MBR patch to your installer. If you choose to add the MBR patch, it can cause this type of problem so it is recommended you do not (choose no). Additionally, make sure your BIOS is in AHCI mode before you install.

Your log didn't appear.

Try this, basically the same. Prior to start, boot into BIOS, set to defaults, then reset drive mode to AHCI and try install. Also, list the specs of your machine, make sure your using a guide with the proper graphics.

Did you try to use Photo Booth to see if the webcam works and did you go into System Preferences and see if Bluetooth is turned on? Both usually work natively with the Extra folder in the guides. Did you install using a guide from this site?

Do you have Intel HD3000 (i3 proc) or HD4000 (i5 or i7 proc) on your E6330? If you have HD4000, try this one: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/6387-guide-dell-latitude-e6330-intel-hd-4000-graphics-mavericks/

Your machine has Intel Graphics and have no graphics acceleration I'm afraid your stuck with the flickering graphics. Webcam and Bluetooth should work natively. See if webcam comes on using Photo Booth. Bluetooth sounds like it may be turned off, check in System Preferences.

Unfortunately, I do not know enough about how the FB kext was modified, but it seems like there is an issue there with either the kext (did you try re-downloading it?), or with how the kext relates to your display. The refresh rate may play into it, which may be modifiable within the kext.

Try adding a battery kext, such as AppleSmartBatteryManager.kext, adding it to your Extra/Extensions folder and run myFix full.

In case you are dealing with a potentially corrupted kext in your installer, download the Extensions (from S/L/E) and replace yours, then run myFix Full if you haven't already tried this. NVidia's website does not list a Mac driver for the Quadro NVS 4200M, it does offer an option to find the drivers for your NVidia products, which may offer an update to resolve it

I know some of the E6XXX models had graphics issues with the newest Bios and noted yours was at the current version, so just a thought. Jakes is at A19, but with HD 3000 graphics.

Any possibility that the Bios version is creating the graphics issues, such as we saw on other models?
