  1. I believe I found the solution. If this works I will not post anything further for this topic. 1) opened up finder 2) searched this mac for "protector" 3) found "protector suite uninstaller" 4) ran uninstaller See picture attached.
  2. Folks I installed fingerprint sensor in error with my D620 running SL. How do I undo this? Thanks,
  3. How do I get the green Wifi LED / indicator to light up? (WIFI is working fine). This is a cosmetic issue and it doesn't affect how the machine works. Snow Leopard on a Dell latitude D620 with EDP2.2 Thanks!
  4. Admins, While myHack3.1 is probably in the works to fix the issues with myHack3.0, could we have a link to download myHack2.1? For what I'm seeing, people post positive outcomes with myHack2.1 but the dmg is no longer available to download. Thanks, - Eduardo
  5. I don't mind at all. I'm familiar with managing forums and I understand your move. As for my D620, I have good news. Note: I didn't see your post before so I tried the following by myself and it worked: PREINSTALL: I flashed the original A10 BIOS with the custom BIOS downloaded from this site. (to flash the BIOS, I created a bootable DOS USB drive using rufus, then, booted into DOS in order to run the new BIOS flasher executable which was copied into the USB stick as well). Flash was flawless. INSTALL: 1) Booted with an old chameleon CD (D620SLV1.iso) I had here at home. Pressed F5 after replacing the CD with the 10.6.3 retail install DVD. 2) Selected the install DVD from the boot screen and formatted the 80GB HDD using Disk Utility 3) Installed retail 10.6.3 standard like one would to a true apple machine. 4) Rebooted with the chameleon CD and selected the 80GB HDD partition (where I installed 10.6.3). POSTINSTALL: 5) Copied the Extra folder from the bootpack (related to my D620) which I downloaded from this site and pasted to the root of my now installed OSX 10.6.3. 6) Ran the EDP tool (went through the questions and options available) = Guide here. 7) Installed the bootloader chameleon. Ran Apple Software Updates until there weren't updates anymore (EVERYTHING). 9) Repaired permissions for good measure using Disk Utility. 10) Rebooted and proceeded to install all my other software... iLife, Office, Skype, etc... It is working perfectly well. WiFi, Video, Trackpad, USB... (haven't tested sleep yet). Note: I own a true mac (mac mini + macbook) and the DELL D620 works just like the real mac using the OSXLATITUDE mods. Thank you so much! Screenshot of the current desktop: I've also installed Xscreensaver. A very famous collection of about 200 screensavers created originally for *nix (UNIX, Linux, BSD ...) but also available for OSX. (No version for Windows). Screenshots here. UPDATE: Microsoft Cinema HD webcam worked 100% as well (Video and Audio) without any extra tweaking or software installation. Tested with Photo Booth and Skype 5. - Eduardo
  6. Hello Syonagar, First of all... Thank you for welcoming me to this forum! I have already encountered a problem with MyHack3.0 and felt better to know it is a "known" issue and not an issue w/ my D620. (if this is in any way highjacking this thread, feel free to remove this post and let me know where to post this please) Here is what I've done so far: 1) Flashed the A10 BIOS with the one provided by this site (D620 Intel GMA) - Successful. 2) MyHack3 USB stick failed miserably needless to say. I got the Please Shutdown Your system / reboot in multiple languages error. 3) I then used a chameleon boot CD I had here and install Snow Leopard 10.6.3 from my retail DVD. (Not a Core2Duo, so no Lion for me). What should I do next (step by step) please? Can you point me to the right direction? I'm a total newbie when it comes to OSX on PCs. Best regards to all, Eduardo
  7. Working on my D620, will post my outcomes and questions soon. Hello to everyone.
