That was fun. Reflowing!. Now that you'll be a Mac expert soon you should know that BGA reflow is the reciepe for old iBooks and Powerbooks also. My daughters Mac had this problem and i tried with a hair dryer but....... She got a new one ending High School. Good Luck helping the kids out. (Elektor magazine has a reflow oven and also had a rebuild article for some common USA owen with new controller) Anders

Installed a new Dell DW1510 Mini PCI-.E card in the empty slot in my E6220 meant for WiMax. Connected the free antenna connector to J1 on the 1510. It just worked in Lion 10.7.2. Sysinfo below with some translation. Speed only half (ca 40 Mbps) as only one channel ( one antenna remember) and bad S/N ratio. But now I can keep the Intel Wifi for Windows 7 & 8 that works super with the Cisco APs at work. By the way Windows 8 Customer Preview runs fine on E6220 with few problems (had to make registry correction to get Cisco AnyConnect working) Only remaining obstacle with Lion on E6220 is audio but I understand there is a solution Anders

Connecting a hard disk with Firewire 400 works fine. Anders

Quick and Dirty test: D430 and D630 nice, good job. But now both models has the USB problem with keyboard pushing "77777777777" after sleep. And D430 still need the sleep solution described in the wiki including settting system password But D630 sleep works without. Maurisz: have you found a USB solution? Anders

All is not well Sometimes after first sleep the pointer doesnt follow the mouse/touchpad and its like someone pushes lots of "7" on the keyboard. Strange is that it only happens in Finder. If i start some program I have no probem in its menus but if I once again selects Finder the pointer once again doesnt follow mouse fully. Pointer moves upward. I have seen this in other combinations like the one Mario (Bronxteck) put up a few days ago. I put your files incl Cham r700 on my installation stick with installation image of SN 10.6.0 (my comments 10.57 PM friday was with 10.6.6) and booted it. All ok except had to use external mouse (stick and touchpad dead). Would be useful to fix. Anders

About USB no 3 and 4 Maybe this below would help you Mariusz Two extra interupt flags Found here http://byteco.de/200...-1/#comment-594 Anders In my previous post I forget to write how to get all the 4 USB port working. Thanks goes to: http://www.insanelym...howtopic=206313 Search for HPET section and change things as following: Device (HPET) { Name (_HID, EisaId (“PNP0103″)) Name (ATT3, ResourceTemplate () { IRQNoFlags () {2} IRQNoFlags () {8} IRQNoFlags () {11} IRQNoFlags () {15} Memory32Fixed (ReadWrite, 0xFED00000, // Address Base 0×00000400, // Address Length ) }) Recompile and repair permission with Kext Utility. Now your USB port are working as ever!!!!

Hi Just tested your files and instructions exactly on a sister machine to the one you've got. BIOS A17 latest Question: Should i have touched /S/L/E ? (the com.apple.kext.caches dated summer.) Question: How to evaluate dsdt ? BIOS reset and AHCI set Booted without switches Not lots of worriesome rows in bdmesg, kernel and system log Saw followning problems External VGA not found but no KP or lined unusable display either Mic dead USB connector 3 and 4 dead No touchpad settings panel The rest worked fine Sound out loudspeakers and plug Firewire disk Ethernet WiFi Modem port seen in network settings Touchpad Pointer External mouse Battery and ext power symbols Sleep both powerbutton and lid closing AFP disk CPU 1,81 GHz bus 724 MHz 2 cores Graphics 1280x800 works fine CD reader Video and sound good USB memory pin KB Thanks Nice work Anders

Mariusz Latest BIOS for D630 is A017 Please find enclosed zipped dmg with freedos and the D630_A17.exe file for upgrading Put it on a 1GB USB stick and lets hope the boot sector works Otherwise theres allways unetbootin Anders D630-biosupgrade-on-FreeDOS-1GB-USB.dmg.zip

To permit installing edp on USB pins heres a patch for rebuild.sh found in Extra/bin. With this change you can give argument for example su - password: sh bin/rebuild.sh /Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/Extra #!/bin/sh # check that the one argument is a Extra directory if [[ $# -eq 1 && -d ${1} && ${1:0-5} == "Extra" ]]; then WORKPATH=${1} ; else WORKPATH='/Extra' ; fi # check that you are root eg owner of the directory if [[ ! -O $WORKPATH ]]; then echo 'WARNING You dont own this directory, you should be root'; fi echo "Selected directory is $WORKPATH" ; # In the script rebuild.sh exchange all /Extra to ${WORKPATH} for exemple with # cat rebuild.sh | sed 's/\/Extra/${WORKPATH}/g' > NEWrebuild.sh # then paste this script after the clear statement in NEWrebuild.sh

Hi and thanks Tried it but touchpad and keyboard goes crazy while external mouse ok. So i reverted. Havent got time to make a detailed fault finding, starting up the spring for my scout departments so lot of planning to do. Anders

No graphics seems fine but remember i used slics set of intel files initially Dell D620/630/830 INTEL.mpkg It contained cameleon rc3 and intel.pkg. The intel.pkg holds no kext but lots of textfiles

Upgraded from Slics kext set to EDP 1.5RC5. USB works but lost touchpad.

I now have D630 up and running Installed with the disk in USB enclosure connected to an iMac according to mialemat diskussed here Updated to 10.6.6 and Chameleon r687 Deleted mialemat com.apple.Boot.plist edit. Ill behaved touchpad fixed with VoodooPS2Controller.kext Next problem to solve is dead USB and Sleep and 64-bit Anders

OK here they are. Saw that A17 already is collected (same size) but heres an older A13 also from another D630 Anders DSDT_D630_X3100_A13.aml.zip dsdt_D630_X3100_A17.aml.zip

Hi Bronxtech Ive actually managed yesterday to install SN on my D630/X3100 but never managed to reboot after that. I suspect that had a copy of /Extra on the install-stick that came from my D430. Tried to repeat install but giving up now. (A better edptool should ask which disk to configure and only use the reduced shell commands that the install disk uses.) A clean Chameleon v2.0 rc5 r665 and a unaltered SN 10.6.0 install image will not boot a D630 with intel graphics. Kernel Panic from IOATAFamily (known since a year on InsanelyMac) and strange HID behavior. Do anyone have a good reciept? Mariusz will have a D630/X3100 any day now. Anders

Hi Bronxtech Correct but realized its a known problem and intend to look up further. So i tried to delete this thread but only saw emptying possible. Its IOATAFamily. Got any tips? Anders

Hi Leon Just this morning sent the D630/2GHz/2G/80G/X3100/1395/BT to Mariusz. Expect 5 days said the Post Office girl. Anders

Hej Leon o tack för hjälpen, (Jag fixar presentation på forumet). Toppen att hitta nytta av D-serien som vi just skrotar ut på jobbet. (Saknar du någon särskild modell?) Remaining problems with my D430 (10.6.6 with EDP 1.5 RC5) --3G modem Ericson f3507g aka Dell 5530: tried Leons blog-solution but not a EDP problem (ID 8137, 413c found in plist for WWAN, ioreg shows the modem in USB but no /dev/ttyUSB, had a hard time with this modem in Linux a few years ago) anyone? --External screen stripes, worked nicely with previus RC Anders

Hi Leon Installed on D430 as instructed (edp 1.5 RC5 and Extra). Boot, LAN, audio, mouse, pad, video OK. Ordered sleep, screen black but system still up. Pushed CRT/LCD got grey apple screen. Pushed off and rebooted ok. Tried external screen (worked fine yesterday) and got only vertical stripe. Disconnected external and picture returned. Tried CD ok and a short video. Started Chrome and went to osxlatitude.com System crashed with reboot-prompt after two minutes. Log has lots of kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGSGetNumberOfDisplayModes Video driver problem? Anders

Hi. Just found your site which helped me to set up OSX on my D430 since my 10v broke yeasterday. So with 10.6.6 plus extras 1.5 RC4 and most h/w working except wifi i tried sleep. Woke up to a strange locked screen and had to run Disk Util from an Usb stick. But it didnt manage to repair complained about powerpack and plist and corrupt tree. Now restoring from 3 hour old backup. Will PM 21 stop this from happening? Any solution for BMC4312? It worked on the 10v under 10.5? Thanks for good work Anders Stockholm
