Can't imagine a form factor issue or you would not be able to fit the card into the slot. Sounds more like a damaged connector on the card or a defective M.2 slot on the laptop. Could also be some dust or dirt in the slot. Try and blow hard on it.

DW1820A requires special attention.

Just in case, enable the Apple RTC patch in Clover.

No, as stated before, Mojave only supports Kepler GPUs and this GF117 Fermi GPU, like several others, turned out to have poor/no support under High Sierra. If you want all those video outputs to work, you'll have to revert to an older OS X/macOS version like El Capitan/Sierra. That's the end of the line for that nVidia dGPU.

Well-known 2nd/final-stage boot glitch. Fix has been available for years... You can look it up. -> Applicable patch for High Sierra/Mojave: Kext: IOGraphicsFamily Find: 0100007522 Replace: 010000EB22

Can we please move this thread to the Asus section?

Try the tools/layouts specified in the Keyboard Layout-related threads in the Keyboard section of the forum.

BIOS A23 is perfectly Ok; it's what I run on my E6440.

You wouldn't be using my patched DSDT from E6230 BIOS A19 by any chance? Because that will most definitely trigger artefacts at shutdown, but not otherwise. I would not recommend using that DSDT for anything other than the E6230.

Re: "HD unsupported" in DVD Player, I've integrated the patch to FakeSMC several years ago (like other kext's plist patches). It works Ok in High Sierra. You simply add the patching info if the old IOAHCISerialATAPI_injector kext into FakeSMC's Info.plist file, above the FakeSMC entry: <key>IOAHCISerialATAPI</key> <dict> <key>ATAPI</key> <true/> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.iokit.IOAHCISerialATAPI</string> <key>IOClass</key> <string>IOAHCISerialATAPI</string> <key>IOProbeScore</key> <integer>25000</integer> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOAHCIDevice</string> <key>Physical Interconnect</key> <string>SATA</string> <key>Physical Interconnect Location</key> <string>Internal</string> <key>Protocol Characteristics</key> <dict> <key>Physical Interconnect</key> <string>SATA</string> <key>Physical Interconnect Location</key> <string>Internal</string> </dict> </dict> Here's a copy of the FakeSMC kext I use in HiSie: FakeSMC.kext.zip The patch simply consists of a modification injected in IOAHCISerialATAPI PlugIn kext of IOAHCIFamily kext located in /S/L/E.

You have graphics acceleration (formerly called QE/CI). It's just that you need additional little tuning to do re: DVD Player:

You may refer to the existing guide(s) posted in the Guides section.

@sass86oh, I invite you to post your findings, test results and conclusions in the following thread, dedicated to the DW1820A: It'll be far more appropriate than posting about it in a Latitude-related thread and will be far more visible to potential/affected users of the card. NB: DW1820A PCI id is 14e4:43a3, not 14e4:43a0. SubVendor and SubDevice ids are are you stated. https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Broadcom_BCM94350ZAE

In my particular experience with MBP11,1 vs. MBA6,2 1) it's closer to the Dell E6x40/E7x40 in terms of specs 2) I obtained better CPU power management (more multiplier steps) on a non-U CPU Now, if you want to compare: MacBookPro11,1 MacBookAir6,2

You can reuse existing patched DSDT. Beware because this old trick (using the graphics drivers from HiSie) apparently no longer works in10.14.4...

It's long been stated that the Nvidia NVS5200M is not supported. It's a Fermi card and Mojave only supports nVidia Kepler GPUs. The NVS5200M was no longer supported in High Sierra. That kisses goodbye to HDMI output... Please read the existing threads re: E6530 and Mojave/High Sierra/Sierra.

There's no support for HD3000 in Mojave. Stick to High Sierra.

C’est la vie...

If it's a USB-internal model (as I expect), check that all you USB ports are enabled.

Did you try to boot through the USB installer? Or is it just the same?

None whatsoever. Stick to A11 if it meets your needs. I just wanted to run A19 on my E6230, that's all.

Yes, that was understood. Try and mount your SSD partition before type the commands in Terminal.

Check if "sleepimage" file exists on the "Macintosh" SSD partition: ls -la /Volumes/Macintosh/var/vm If it does, remove it: rm -f /Volumes/Macintosh/var/vm/sleepimage You may then try to rebuild the cache: touch -f /Volumes/Macintosh/System/Library/Extensions /Volumes/Macintosh/usr/sbin/kextcache -Boot -U /Volumes/Macintosh -k /Volumes/Macintosh/System/Library/Kernels/kernel

Try and post the output of your diskutil list command so that we verify Core Storage presence of absence.

That warning doesn't matter, it's for kexts patches. You've clearly not installed that file, that's all. Did you nevertheless manage to boot? If not, didn't this issue happen after that you installed a High Sierra update? If so, it's highly likely that you're back with Core Storage applied and Enoch does not support that. You'd therefore have to boot with Clover (i.e. your original HiSie USB installer I presume) and revert the partition to plain old HFS+ before Enoch can boot High Sierra again.
