  1. Either - use Finder->File->Search then type the file name as provided with Syonagar or - browse through the hard disc tree, starting from the root. Extra is a folder located directly at the root.
  2. I recently found out that, on my D630, I needed to re-enable the BT radio from within Windows to be able to use BT within MacOS. It seems that the enabling/disabling of the radio is stored somewhere in flash on the BT adapter (it's not in the BIOS, that's for sure) and that Mac OS does not access that flash. If you can check with Windows (XP or 7) and, eventually, enable the BT radio if disabled, you may find your fix.
  3. Tested Ok last night with: D630 Intel graphics, Lion 10.7.4 D830 nVIDIA graphics, Snow Leopard 10.6.8
  4. In fact, it'd be nice of you try this http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=173&page=2 and report back how it goes.
  5. Hi, I doubt it's a bug as such, more likely an unsupported model or one that requires either a new kext or a rebranding. For info, the Broadcom BCM94311 is supported "natively" and, provided the 2 cards are compatible (i.e; no major differences in operation and/or configuration), rebranding the 94312 into 94311 might work, if such rebranding is possible...
  6. In theory, yes, you could run your CPU at FSB667, which would increase your CPU frequencies to 2.16GHz max (13x167 instead of 13x133). The key point is to keep T° under control which is always the main problem on laptops, where heatsinks and fans are of reduced size and reduced capabilities. You'll probably need a bit of time and patience. This is not really the place to talk CPU overclocking but, having successfully O/C'd a Pentium M 1.8GHz/FSB400 to 2.4GHz/FSB533 on my old Inspiron 6000 laptop, I should be able to give you a few pointers off line if you wish. You'll also find many sites on the Internet with ample discussions on the matter and samples for your type of CPU and, of course, start with the Intel datasheet: http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/datashts/31407804.pdf To me, for a few $$$, it's a lot less hassle to get a T7xxx FSB667 directly.
  7. Nope, my D630 Intel graphics goes to sleep and wakes up just fine under Lion 10.7.4 (and I'm not using the BIOS password fix). Karpais, did you disable hibernation (option 2, EDP fix menu)?
  8. You can clear the BIOS password by replacing it by a blank one. That'll remove the password. Meantime, you can also configure your BIOS to bypass the password on reboot/wake, that'll save you from entering the password all the time.
  9. Yes, indeed... 1) I'm very surprised a T5550 would not fit, unless it was not a T5550 you actually got delivered. 2) the T5300 is FSB 533MHz and the D620 is meant to use FSB 667MHz CPUs. Unless you're trying to overclock the T5300 (which may be possible through FSB pinmod), it may not be usable at all in the D620. 3) you had mentioned getting a T5600. I'm confused...
  10. Just found this thread too. Don't know if it'll work, but you could always make a backup of your existing kext and try the version provided: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1608-working-bcm43xx-on-lion/page__p__11157&do=findComment&comment=11157
  11. The Dell-branded 1390 card is a Broadcom BCM94311. I'd say there's a good chance it'll work if OS X can be fooled into thinking your 94312 is a 94311, i.e. rebranding. We should also look at the specs of each card to ensure they're similar.
  12. Did you use EDP3 from the very beginning or did you initially setup your laptop with an earlier release like 2.1/2.2? I was told moving from one to the other could create issues.
  13. Sounds like it wasn't a laptop CPU but possibly a desktop one. What's written on it?

    New Notebook

    Hi madmax, You need to ensure you point to the correct .dmg image. Usually, you need to open up the initial Lion image and extract/point to the proper installation image, called "install ESD".
  15. For audio, try the VoodooHDA (more stable) kext in the EDP menu, not the one listed for the D620. For Wireless, if you have an Intel card, it won't work, you need a Broadcom (Dell-branded) model. Easily found on a famous bidding web site and for a few $/€ only...
  16. If you have Chameleon wizard installed, double click on your /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist file and uncheck the USBBusFix as a test. Then save and reboot. Can't say that it'll improve boot time, but worth a shot if you're game.
  17. Well, not sure, I think it's required and boot will fail if FakeSMC kext cannot be found. I'm doing more tests on that point...

    EDP 3.1

    It's back to normal this morning, may be Gremlins during the updates of last night...
  19. There were some work on EDP yesterday. Which revision are you on? Since updating from rev410 to 415 last night, I see some minor differences, but nothing like what you experience.
  20. It might not be related at all, but I noticed some slow boot when USBBusFix was set to Yes. The context was a bit specific though, so it may not apply to this SSD case at all... When I was testing EDP 3 for Snow Leopard, I was using an external USB IDE HDD. If USBBusFix was selected in /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist, booting off the USB HDD took ages. It would hold for over 2mins past the initial Chameleon wait scroll bar, then I would get a default grey Apple background (neither the OSXL logo, nor the shiny Apple logo) and boot activity would resume. After unsetting USBBusFix, booting off the USB HDD was back to normal: no extended delay after Chameleon wait scroll bar, OSXL logo during boot process and a total boot time of approximately 1min.
  21. Yes, that's what I meant by /E/E, sorry. I'm on Lion 10.7.4 and I have that IntelCPUMonitor kext there. Maybe it's different on another version, but I don't know what you have. Please note that since I updated my EDP to rev 415 last night, my CPU readings have gone tits up again. The difference I notice in /E/E is that I now have a FakeSMC kext there, a kext I did not seem to have with rev 410. When I take that FakeSMC kext out of /E/E, T° readings are back to normal.

    EDP 3.1

    Hi Leon, there's seems to be a bug within the latest updated version which renders EDP download unsuccessful when you run the svn command... Looks like a path issue.
  23. The best is to obtain the CPU T Junction value off the Intel web site (values differ between CPU families) and the edit the Tjmax value in /E/E/IntelCPUMonitor.kext. Eg: http://ark.intel.com/products/29761/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T7500-(4M-Cache-2_20-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) Just did it on my T7500-based D630 (Tjmax=100) and the iStats goodies now report proper T° readings: idling in the low 40s°C and up to 70s°C on high load (similar readings in Win7).
  24. Hi, what system? What specs?
  25. Ok, but getting hold of EDP 1.9.2 is not straighforward any more. I followed the EDP3 documented process to re-install SL (up to 10.6.8) on external USB drive and it worked smoothly and without hiccups for my D620+D630. To me, the latest method is totally "kosher" for SL too. EDP3 supports Snow Leopard, so it's sort of "universal" now.
