brian502 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Same thing is happening on my laptop. If you find out the solution, please post it as this has been driving me nuts for days. Tried two different versions, the HOTISO 10.4.6. and JaS 10.4.6.

brian502 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I dont have a laptop. But have you guys tried hooking up an external monitor. I read about this in the wiki. Thanks westep23! That was all I needed to do! Infact, I'm in the os now typing this! woohoo! *UPDATE* Everything seems to be working! Wireless, Touchpad, Sound, Video etc. I searched the forum and found a nifty safety clip trick for the external monitor port By the way, I'm using no 3rd party software for the x86 install. Windows boot.ini, chain0, and diskpart was all that was used. I'm running 10.4.5 Myzar ISO. Just updated with the JaS 10.4.7 patch. All is good.

msantoso Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 do you guys know how to do the vga pin trick? i've tried with no success. while turning on the laptop, need to do 3-4 times boot up to successfully login (which is kinda annoying) so back to XP, waiting for it to turn dead on me so i can buy macbook Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20894-help-benq-joybook-s53w-installation/#findComment-719395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
