tchospy Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Put the last DSDT on the extra folder of your OS X installation USB without delete any nvidia kext and boot with it, see if you reach the install screen with your internal display Well... I already did this... the dumper I sent you previously booted using what you said... the DSDT is already in Extra folder and the nvidia drivers is running... 100hal . Always using GraphicsEnabler=Yes I think now it is reaching the internal display cause I can turn it on and off... but only black is shown. Nothing is showing on the screen... I can just control the brightness, but black brightness. Also using swiftresx I can now extract the EDID from the internal monitor... and it is correct.. Do you think a need a modded nvidia driver or something ? This is weird .... Is there anything I could do here to help you ?

jl4c Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 We need to know if the internal display work without any change in the system, and yes the internal display is detected with the right EDID but for some reason you only get a black screen. Please boot with a clean OS X usb installation using the last DSDT and GraphicsEnabler=Yes flag.

Please boot with a clean OS X usb installation using the last DSDT and GraphicsEnabler=Yes flag. I have to put the DSDT inside the usb installation ? Or just boot with the usb installation, select the hard drive mac installation ?

tchospy Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 OK, please dump your nvidia bios (vbios) using everest (windows) and upload here. Ok... I'll dump the graphics card bios... I just need some time to do this cause I'm on the streets... A while ago...I found this blog and the guy fixed this in linux... He had a vaio at that time and the same problem... seeing his configs maybe can help... I read and didn't understand what he did cause he used x11 configuration files and I find it is not possible in Mac os X. http://www.jaredlog.com/?p=1148 Also...I found this on nvidia webpage about my graphics card. The following Sony VAIO notebooks are included in the Verde notebook program: Sony VAIO F Series with NVIDIA GeForce 310M, GeForce GT 330M, GeForce GT 425M, GeForce GT 520M or GeForce GT 540M. Other Sony VAIO notebooks are not included (please contact Sony for driver support). Do you guys know if this "Verde" program is screwing our support on mac os x ?
