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.

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)?
-
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.

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...

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

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.
-
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.
-
Sounds like it wasn't a laptop CPU but possibly a desktop one. What's written on it?
-
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".
-
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...

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.
-
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...
-
It's back to normal this morning, may be Gremlins during the updates of last night...
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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).
-
Hi, what system? What specs?
-
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.
-
Sure, our Latitude laptops are ageing machines by now, but you can get a T7200 or T7400 for about $20...
-
Good stuff. I have to try Lion on my Vostro 200S again. I was able to set it up with SL last year, but that was with a legacy kernel (ModCD method oblige), had no sound, no wifi (unsupported D-Link card) and I found no kext to support the ATI X1300 Pro 256Mb graphics card. This brings things to a different light now. Do you know the motherboard model in the 755? It's a revised Foxconn G33M in the Vostro 200, identical to the Inspiron 530, for which there might be a DSDT table somewhere.
-
Well, I'm on a dual boot HDD with Win7/Lion. No problem in Win7, I can use BT. The D630 is also my work computer for which I use a separate HDD with XP. And that's where the problem was: in XP, I always disable the BT radio when I'm not using it. You were absolutely right about the F/W flash because I enabled the radio in XP, shutdown the laptop, rebooted on my Lion HDD and bingo! Bluetooth here we go and without any changes to the BIOS settings. 'knew it had to be something stupid. I now have the same LED behavior as experienced on my Inspiron 6000 (for which BT worked from day 1): with BT enabled, the Wifi LED stays off all the time under Mac OS.
-
On closer look, it's a 360 adapter, it's written on it :$ Just need to find out why it doesn't work properly under SL or Lion...
-
Yes, as I said, the procedure listed above should be considered obsolete now. From now on, you should follow the details listed in the E.D.P section of the site: http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/ It's got everything: step-by-step guidelines, boot packs to download, EDP installation shell, etc, etc.
