Actually, maybe my fix wasn't quite perfect since testing just now, I'm only getting the power button to work once, but then if I ESC and try again it's not working. My original problem is it wasn't working at all until I used the updated kext and having it work once is usually fine since it's for shutdown normally. I just tried sleep twice and it happened to work both times and my power button usability resets and I can get it to work once again. Sorry for leading you in the wrong direction. I did just notice that when pressing the power button, something happens even when it's not seeming to work since it popped-up the notice that a bluetooth mouse wasn't found, so again, it's triggering something, just not what we expect it to consistently. When I did install that kext after the main installation, I used the myHack Install Extra command I believe instead of full myFix. I need to get some experience troubleshooting and testing kext files one of these days...

Sorry to hear the power button issue isn't resolved. What process did you use to update the AppleACPIPlatform.kext? Looking fwd to following this thread since incremental fixes for sleep and BT disable would be great. New things I've run into or notes: Using a Logitech Trackpad T651 works well except some pairing issues when booting up that I'm trying to sort out. Once paired or re-connected w/o re-pairing, it's pretty sweet. BT freaked out and I even lost the BT pref pane. I think my plist may have gotten corrupted since I removed it and reboot restored it from what I recall. I've been interested in getting Wake-On-LAN (WOL) working normally or while docked. Seems when the power adapter is connected, the NIC card in both cases has power but it links with a green LED versus the normal amber I get which may mean it's not linked at gig speed which is what my switch normally runs at. I have to figure out the NIC status colors, but generally WOL simply doesn't work even though I see the magic packet make it to the NIC card since it flashes. WOL is enabled in BIOS obviously and out of the blue, I got it to work once or twice but less consistently than sleep waking up.

Same for me and BT Pref Pane 'Turn Bluetooth Off' button is greyed. I tried a CLI method and it didn’t really work as expected and I didn’t look deeper since I don’t mind it being on all the time as the power drain w/ no devices attached is very low I’d imagine. You can disable both BT and WiFi via the right-side hard switch and it re-enables fine, but losing WiFi is likely a deal-breaker. I read on a few forums the E6400 touchpad is simply not capable of true multi-touch and any kext's I tried didn't work, although I wouldn’t mind someone proving us all wrong. The touchpad is a bit small even if multi-touch worked but if we can at least get the side and bottom scrollbars working, that may be barely suitable, but again my attempts at multi-touch and scrollbars didn't work. Instead I plan to pair a Logitech Touchpad or Apple Magic Trackpad for docked use at least. Same issue with sleep and it’s the only feature I’d ​really like to get working. With 'hibernatemode 0' and rm'd sleepimage, I can get it to sleep and wake at least once and in some cases, a string of times, but eventually it won’t wake again so I simply don’t rely on it. Read below for more info. I did the force 'Detect Displays' trick as you and others mentioned and it worked for me also. Maybe I can help here. At first I was only getting it to work once per boot but then followed howoarang’s advice (thanks!) [https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2674-dell-e64006500m4400-mavericks-109-gm/?p=23955] and it worked for me after I run it via myHack using the steps below. Let me know if it helps you. Installed/overwrote AppleACPIPlatform.kext from the above link by copying into Extra Folder and re-running myHack 'Install Extra' after initial install. If installing OS X from scratch, I would just overwrite/include it initially into the USB Extra folder which would be more seamless. I have the NVIDIA Quadro NVS160M 256MB video card I believe and it’s been working great for me w/ the kext’s DaFOB included in his pkg. I launched App Store and see no issues or with anything else thus far. My notes/comments: BT LED appears to work, but WiFi LED doesn’t. Not a big deal but curious. I use mine w/ a Dell Docking station and:One DVI output works but the second one doesn’t. Instead for dual-monitor I’m using a DisplayLink USB to DVI display adapter with their latest Mavericks driver and it works quite well with the only downside being much longer increased shutdown time. With an SSD in the E6400 it would shutdown in a few seconds and now it has the spinning lines for 15 or more seconds. Not a big deal in comparison to the dual-monitor capability. Dell laptop display stays on all the time, even with the lid closed and becomes my 3rd monitor. I tried to find a way to disable it and haven’t figured that one out yet. If anyone has hints, please share. Since ventilation pulls from the bottom, I just turn the LCD brightness down to minimum and don’t worry much about it. I have to say, versus even a Late 2006 MBP running SL, this Dell E6400 running Mavericks is very sweet since the graphics are smoother and overall performance is very good considering the age, specs, and fact that OS X wasn’t intended to run on it. To get even better performance, toss a SSD in there and since OS X won't enable TRIM on non-built in Apple SSD, if your SSD supports TRIM, but sure to run the myHack or equivalent TRIM enabler.. I'm booting from an ancient 30GB SSD and it’s extremely snappy in terms of start-up and app launch. I ordered a media tray HDD adapter and if it works, will likely upgrade the internal drive and use the 30GB for dual-boot or otherwise from the media tray. Thanks to DaFOB and especially the myHack genius(es) for making this fairly painless! We should all donate [http://myhack.sojugarden.com/donate/] since it's uber cool what they do for the community for free and a little cash to cover at least their webhosting is undoubtably appreciated considering how much potential enjoyment we'll get out of this on the cheap. BTW - I'm not affiliated with myHack and simply truly appreciate their community work. Lastly, your English is much, much better than most of our Polish or other EU languages. I also thought the re-appearance of the sleepimage file may be a problem, but with 'hibernatemode 0' and sudo rm'ing it, I’m not seeing it reappear with any frequency. Still, I can get sleep to work for 1 or more times but will bomb out again eventually which is a bummer. I think initially I could only get it to sleep once but some other tweaking with different kext files got it to multiple sleeps but still no guaranteed consistency. I’ve tried looking thru the Console logs after good and bad sleep tests using the power button Sleep, |Sleep, and lid close. After a cursory look, didn’t notice anything in particular that always shows during bad versus good waking, but also haven’t had time to really dig in deep and diff the logs. For now I’m just setting Energy Saver to multi-hour sleep and w/ SSD, startup and shutdown are fast enough that I don’t really mind.
