Compaq Presario B3800

[Kyuhyong]

I have a laptop from COMPAQ.

 

Installed with Deadmoo's hd image native.

Dualbooting with WindowsXP and Mac osx.

 

Specs:

CPU : Dothan 725 1.6Ghz (Capable of SSE2, but not SSE3)

 

RAM : 256+256 (Recognized and works fine)

 

GPU : ATI Mobility Radeon 9700

(I have to delete every ATI* kext files to boot normally)

 

Sound : Sound MAX AC97 compatible

(Still I can't hear any sounds, but mac recoginze this as AC97 compatible and

volume control bars working. )

 

Ethernet :

Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC (Works fine)

Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG - (this doesn't work)

 

Modem:

Agere Systems AC'97 Modem (I haven't tried to test this thing.)

 

ODD: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2512 -

(Works fine but haven't tried to burn any CD-R or -RW)

 

USB : Works fine with all the port of 4.

 

Etc

Presario B3800 model has a jog-button for volume control, and mac recognize this

device. So I can see the speaker icon displaying on the screen when I moved it.

But still there's no sounds.

 

And I experienced trouble running some application, such as "grab"(this even cannot run at all) or "picture viewer"(Application runs but can't see any pictures)

 

Currently I installed fire-fox browser and have no problem with this.

 

Have a nice day.

 

P.S. Cooling Fan is much noisy and really annoying when using mac, compare to XP. I think mac requires more CPU loads

Does your laptop have any audio out options on it, for like external speakers or even a mic? Try hooking some pc speakers up to those ports and see if you can hear anything.
