ellnic Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I recently upgraded the CPU in my Inspiron 1720 (with Nvidia 8600M GT) from a T7500 to T9500, and have been having issues taking a stab at editing my DSDT. I would be eternally grateful if someone here could take a look for me. I can get an Everest/AIDA64 report if it would be helpful ellnic DSDT.aml.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/263792-dsdt-patching-required-for-inspiron-1720/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellnic Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks! I've got that in and nullcpu removed, and no longer get a panic Just a couple of [possible n00b] questions, I am getting a very low geek bench score.. (918) this is what I have in my E/E folder, am I meant to be removing some of these? AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext ApplePS2Controller.kext FakeSMC.kext FakeSTAC9205.kext IOATAFamily.kext LidSleep.kext VoodooBattery.kext VoodooTSCSync.kext Also, I am having to use VoodooHDA for audio instead of the AppleHDA from 10.6.2- is this normal? I've attached my com.apple.boot.plist and smbios.plist, was wondering if you could tell me if they look ok? Thanks again, really appreciate it.

Thanks again, really appreciate it. use my kexts in my 1520 in signature.. no acpips2nub needed. same stac9205 i use voodoohda .. but ill see if i can go with plain fakestac. with applehda from 10.6.3 or something and dsdt mod hdef voodootscsynch isnt needed in this model. but helped me a lot with D620. ioata isnt needed with ide1 ioata panic fix in dsdt. in my dsdt i called it (PATA) these 2 remove and replace with voodoops2 in my pack. its the original from December from andyvand. AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext ApplePS2Controller.kext i use nothing in /E/E instead all goes to /S/L/E to prevent issues lidsleep.kext isnt needed with Device (PNLF) in dsdt ill look at your dsdt and compare. (my dsdt is in beta stage still but mostly good. cept an error im fixing in _PTS .. sleep 0x64 i forgot to change that to 0x10) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/263792-dsdt-patching-required-for-inspiron-1720/#findComment-1727013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellnic Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks, LatinMcG. Tried your suggestions but am still getting a very low Geekbench score. I've been experimenting recently and found something odd. When I was booting with NullCPU, I had a DSDT in my extra folder which I found a while back which claimed to be for a 1720 with a T9500. I gave that a go before trying to edit a fresh DSDT myself, but it gave me kernel panics without nullcpu. I added this line to my DSDT, "//THIS IS A TEST" then used multiple apps to extract a fresh DSDT (including MaLd0n's app) and the line "//THIS IS A TEST" was there in the newly extracted ones. If it is the case that when a DSDT is in your extra folder you simply get a copy of it, I suspect that the DSDT I uploaded is not the one for my system, but the one I found a while back. Could this be causing issues and under powering my CPU? I can't understand why I had so little issues with my system before the CPU change. No extensions have changed until now, no settings etc. I just assumed it must be that the DSDT was to blame. I have thoroughly tested the CPU under windows and it's definitely not faulty. I have extracted a DSDT using Everest under windows and have attached. Does this look significantly different to you? everest_dsdt.aml.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/263792-dsdt-patching-required-for-inspiron-1720/#findComment-1727197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 yes it can be the issue. try booting with hackboot cd from hd. then the dsdt shal be fresh. ( remove it from extra then reboot with cd) what version chameleon. what smbios.plist ? i loose speedstep with mb4,1 try mb5,x smbios Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/263792-dsdt-patching-required-for-inspiron-1720/#findComment-1727393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellnic Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks for your reply. This is my SMBIOS.plist: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>SMbiosversion</key> <string>MBP41.88Z.00C1.B03.0802271651</string> <key>SMexternalclock</key> <string>800</string> <key>SMmanufacter</key> <string>Apple Inc.</string> <key>SMmaximalclock</key> <string>2600</string> <key>SMmemmanufacter_1</key> <string>Apple</string> <key>SMmemmanufacter_3</key> <string>Apple</string> <key>SMmempart_1</key> <string>PC8500</string> <key>SMmempart_3</key> <string>PC8500</string> <key>SMmemserial_1</key> <string>08161736</string> <key>SMmemserial_3</key> <string>08161738</string> <key>SMmemspeed</key> <string>667</string> <key>SMmemtype</key> <string>19</string> <key>SMproductname</key> <string>MacBookPro4,1</string> <key>SMserial</key> <string>W88261E7YP4</string> <key>SMsystemversion</key> <string>1.0</string> <key>SMfamily</key> <string>MacBook Pro</string> <key>SMUUID</key> <string>26A96EAC-CD73-7A49-8B7C-2DA8F466D971</string> </dict> </plist> I wonder if the problem is that speed step is not working because it's a 4,1 plist. I use Chameleon r1096. Thanks for the suggestion for extracting a fresh DSDT, it is attached.

ellnic Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 If I use the 5,1 plist, I get a KP. I have been having a weird issue since I changed CPU's and it would seem to appear that the CPU is faulty, but I have tested it thoroughly in Windows and it's working fine. Also, I do not get the problem with SL. I thought this may also be a DSDT issue. A more detailed description is here but I have had no replies...: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=263545 I have attached the KP... Any ideas? It seems like it's the CPU power management kext... could this be under powering my CPU? I had no problems before I changed it... but I am sure I didn't damage it in the process. I used Intel's own test suite, Dell's test suite and a few others and they all say there is no problem with it! I don't get this error when I use a 4,1 plist, but then it's really slow unless I use nullcpupowermanagement....
