Thanks for your reply Herve... Do I do that thru EDP, can't seem to find that. Otherwise, what is the latest working version? Many Thanks. Steve

Greetings.. muchos complementos to a beautifully designed site. Boyz you've come a long way! Problem, I decided to wipe my good ol' D630 Nvidia clean and do a new install. 10.8.3 Retail with MyHack as per method described in this forum. Upon completion, when I reboot with USB, install EDP, let it do it's thing.... The system will NOT boot on it's own. I must boot from the USB. What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks so much, and keep up this great work!! ssprod

iMick... will do, and thank you for your punctual repair. ssprod

Herve... thanks for the teams' efforts! Will try both audio kexts, and report back. ssprod

Please find requested files attached, thank you. ssprod 1.tiff 2.tiff 3.tiff 4.tiff

iMick, yes I'll certainly do that, and thanks in advance. I suspect you're correct in assuming a non-complete download, as there is no org.chameleon.boot, nor DSDT, nor smbios. I'm up and running at the moment ONLY because I've copied these 3 files from the pertinent boot pack, from which I did the original installation.

iMick... thanks for the info. Yes, i've done EDPWeb multiple times, and audio is not present after this procedure.

Herve... VoodooHDA doesn't seem to be present in the 830low res BP.

Herve... that did the trick, quite a set of workarounds... but i've got it booting presently. I have no Audio at the moment... any thoughts? Thanks again!

Herve... Requested job executed... gets to first 4 lines of boot loader then freezes.

Hello Herve... tried exactly that with 2170, same result---> boot0: error

Greetings!! Haven't been around much, due to work overload, however thanks for the increased development...this site has really taken off! Just picked me up a D830 X3100 LoRes... Don't know if I'm doing something incorrectly, but I cannot get this puppy to boot to Lion10.7.2 on it's own. Here are my steps... 1-Installed 10.7.2 via USBMyHack-used appropriate Extra Folder from Bootpack-SUCCESSFUL 2-Upon completion, boot from USBMyHack to complete install, registration, yada yada...SUCCESSFUL 3-Run Latest EDPweb... Choose appropriate build, wait till "DONE"... REBOOT 4-Chameleon (although apparently Updated-installed) will NOT boot without USBMyHack 5-Reading various posts on this site, I removed NVram in Extra Folder, as this has apparently caused issues 6-Reboot--WILL NOT Boot with Chameleon 7-Boot from MYHackUSB successfully, and in desperation, install CHAMELEON SVN2.1 REV. 1684 from EDP2.2 8-Result: KP on FakeSMC I re-installed numerous times, with the same results, HOWEVER, occasionally, there is no smbios, or org.chameleon.plist in my Extra Folder after running latest EDP..other times, there is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. THANKS!!

Greetings! Successfully installed and upgraded to 10.8.2 from this great method, thank you. Although I'm able to run icloud, itunes, and sign into appstore, "iMessage" will not work. Has any1 experienced this issue... didn't try it with my initial 10.8.0, so don't know if it's pertinent to the 8.2 update. Thanks in advance, and kind regards. ssprod

Interesting... problem was rectified (and allowed me to complete the setup/install) by " -v arch=i386 cpus=1" (without quotes). Thanks.

Hi, Older Apple USB Mouse (Trackpad gives me the same results). I use this mouse with my working D620 Lion system. Still trying to figure this headache out... Thanks.

Greetings! Setup---> D620 Intel Graphics Just bought this for my wife, attempting to install and setup Lion 10.72 via OSXLatitude method (boot pack--EDP). Install went successfully, but upon initial boot from USB, the setup page appears, but I'm unable to proceed, as the mouse freezes for 2 minutes, then resumes. I recall having this issue a couple of years ago when installing on my other D620, however my remedy back then was to boot in safe mode. That does not seem to rectify the issue at this moment. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much and Kind Regards. ssprod

Thanks again, I suspect that my mobo needs to be replaced. I see lots on the bay with the model XD299. Is this what I'm after for an intel/C2DUO setup? Kind Regards

Herve, yes. It looks like I'll need to replace the mobo. That said, will ANY D620/intelGPU based mobo work with my C2DUO CPU? Having difficulty identifying the actual part number of this board. Thanks! ssprod

UPDATE: Unplugged the CMOS battery for 15 minutes, plugged it back in--> now upon powering up, power light is solid illuminated AND middle+right CAP Locks are flashing. Still black screen exists. ssprod

Hi Bronx, hope you're well! Thanks for the tip... tried what you've mentioned with the same results. How does one go about a bios recovery? Kind Regards. ssprod

Memory card? I have removed the ram if that means anything. Other than that, not quite sure what you mean, thanks again. ssprod

Hi Syonagar..Unfortunately not, when the power button is depressed, I get the power light and the DVD drive capstan engaged, but no display whatsoever. Thanks for your reply. ssprod

Greetings-----> My D620 IntelGPU has been serving me wonderfully over the last 6 months with Lion10.7.4 presently. Yesterday all was good, today I turned it on, to find a completely black screen, can't get a display to the bios. Upon powering up, the CD capstan turns, but only the power light is on. The HD light does not flash, even intermittently. Tried booting with an external monitor, no positive results, just a black screen. Any thoughts, suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I fear however that this is a hardware (possible fried mobo) issue. Thanks! ssprod

Greetings fine folks... I can positively report that the AppleACPIPlatform.kext replacement worked perfectly on my D620-intel system.... Many thanks!

Greetings, I did return your pm.. and will gladly send you my edited dsdt upon request. Essentially, i followed this edit----->https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1321-fix-black-screen-issue-in-d830-nvidia-bootpack/page__pid__8872#entry8872 Seems to be working fine for me atm. Regards. ssprod
