@ nyu1985 (or anybody else): since you have a P100-316 with a 64 bit Core 2 Duo: should/can I swap my P100's Core Duo (32bit = not fully Lion compatible) with a (specific) Core 2 Duo (64bit = fully Lion compatible), best the 2GHz kind Toshi utilizes in yours? The Intel 945PM (Mobile/Express) chipset is obviously capable of 64 bit (see here and here), and so seems the all-in-one P10x BIOS (which is the same for all of us, right, no matter if we run a 32 or 64 bit Toshi P10x Satellites)!?

The socket in my P100-102 mobo is PGA socket-M, Micro-FCBGA (FCPGA6) which the T7200 2GHz Core 2 Duo DOES fit in.

What I am uncertain about right now is voltage requirement (current T2400 1.83GHz Core Duo vs. T7200 2GHz Core 2 Duo).  I wonder if the specific mobo in my P100-105 would support a (specific) Core 2 Duo in the first place .....

I have my Toshi disassembled right now (because the 7600Go burnt through) and am about to put it back together (with a refurbished mobo I could get hold of), so if there really was compatibility for a Core Duo --> Core 2 Duo upgrade, this would be the perfect time. The 1.83GHz has been running extremely silent and cool, so I don't have the slightest doubt that the 2x170MHz more would cause any temp. prob.

Competent input greatly appreciated :P

Cheers,
Bugs

UPDATE: now look-a-there: here's somebody who successfully upgraded his Notebook's Core Duo T2400 1.83GHz (same as mine) with the mobile Core 2 Duo T7200 2GHz which is used in at least three of the Toshiba Satellite P10x Laptops (making them 64 bit compatible). That guy is now running Window 64 very happily (on his  Dell Inspiron E1505). I am getting more positive about this. Opinions?

anybody still alive in this thread, or would I need to visit most of you on the graveyard (or at least in the nursing home for the elderly)?

Well anyway I scored a Toshi P105 w. a 64bit 2GHz Core2Duo for a few $$, ventured ahead and installed Lion on it, and behold, EVERYTHING is working - apart from the old culprit, no sound after wake-up from sleep (when using AppleHDA - no idea if there is sound after sleep via the ole Azalia kext 'cause I do need the mike in) ....

So I was wondering if there is still anybody here w. a P10x who is using sleep mode AND still has working sound after sleep w. AppleHDA?

(VoodooHDA still causes KP with the Toshi Conexant Waikiki as always ..)

Thanks,
Bugs

Due to popular request: my P10x Lion pack. I set version to 1.0.

ReadMe.txt:

1. read and apply BIOS.txt

2. u need 2 create ur own DSDT 4 sound 2 work

3. I only have two GMA950 Toshis P10x working right now. Extra.kext includes the good ole NVEnabler which hopefully still works in Lion. If not, remove and use

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>

in org.chameleon.Boot.plist

4. No sound after wake-up from sleep

5. Battery Meter would require DSDT patching

10.7.4
Chameleon 2.1 rev. 2033

AppleHDA is still clubber77's contribution ..

Enjoy :)

I prepped my Toshis up w. new high-res LCD panels, fastest CPU, 7200 HDD, and am very happy.

PS: re. Mountain Lion (64 bit only unless trying to use 32 bit h'tosh community kernel + old 32 bit Finder + all sorts of patchworked XTs = not my cup of Tea):

I don't have any working Nvidia P10x Toshi at hand right now, only two GMA950's for which there is no good 64 bit driver pack (only the buggy 10.6.2 one Apple decommissioned). Contained AppleHDA is old and only 32 bit (or the HDAEnabler is - dunno). If u have a Nvidia Toshi P10x, then for ML you'd have to delete

<key>arch</key>
<string>i386</string>

from org.chameleon.Boot.plist and see if you can get sound and grfx to work.

Hi everyone,

I've tried the bios for p105-s6024 from the op page but still cant get speakers working with SL 10.6.6i from Hazard. I can get the Azilia kext to recognize the HD Audio Output in sound prefs but theres no sound. I tried to input the deviceid in the kext and still no go. I do not have a DSDT for this laptop as i cant get past the errors when i tried to compile the aml file (if anyone has a DSDT for this model could send me... ps i think i have an after market DVDRW drive installed).

With the most current bios 4.70 I can boot into both osx and win8 and have sound working on windows. Is there something else I should try?

Update: I got my dsdt finally past the complile errors but still no sound with Azailia kext. Can someone look at the dsdt fike and tell me if im doing something wrong??
patched it with Dsdt patcher and patches from the ich8 patches but still no sound using stock Phoenix 4.70 bios. I will try flashing one of the modded bios from the op page and report back.

Update2: Still no success with getting sound to work. Tried the Bios 4.20 for p100 and DSDT edited with no errors and with different distros of os x. Currently im back on osx 10.6.6i from Hazzard with Win XP. Everthing is working still except Sound. In system profiler the sound has device id: 12.

Please someone help me if this thread is still alive.
