HP 9736CA Laptop

[anthonyseebioux]

Hello Everybody,

Newbie to the OSX realm. As mentioned in my topic title I have recently installed HP 9736ca laptop. I have installed the KALYWAY 10.5.5 SSE2 SSE3 Intel AMD build. My system specs are below.

 

The specs are as follows:

 

CPU : Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5500 (actually a T5450 @ 1.66GHz)

MOTHERBOARD: Quanta 30CB ver. 79.26

SYSTEM MEMORY: 2048MB of RAM(2 x 1024 DDR2 SO-DIMM PC2-5300[333mhz] SAMSUNG)

CHIPSET(S): Northbridge- Intel GM965 rev. c0 , Southbridge- Intel 82801HBM (ICH8-ME) rev .03

VIDEO CARD: PCI-Express Nvidia GeForce 8600GS 512MB RAM

SOUND CARD: Realtek High Definition

WIRELESS NIC: Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN

WEBCAM: HP Webcam

SPEAKERS: Altec Lansing Built-in Speakers

MONITOR: 17" Widescreen

 

The install was successful. However there are a few issues:

 

01. The sound does not work.

I am able to access the volume control and adjust the volume using the media buttons that are built into the laptop.

However there is no sound

Update: Friday May 9, 2008 - Got the audio working! Used two packages, 1) AzaliaAudio.pkg (which gave me the volume controls) 2) alc268_january08 (gave me the sound!)

Still working on the external ports though :censored2:

 

02. The system goes to sleep and I am unable to wake it.

If I walkaway for a while I notice that the system screen goes black and I must power off the laptop

to access it again. I have changed the screen save to "never", to no avail. I have also installed the package from the Kalway where it states that it is for the

known lock up issue ( sorry I can' t remember the actual package name)

 

03. Plugging in USB devices.

My USB devices work, however I must turn off the computer and leave the device plugged in, in order to see the device after the reboot. Not really true plug and

play. What can I do to make using USB devices easier and use them without rebooting the system?

 

Once again I am very new to this. So any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you.
