Hi!!

After a month or so reading and trying to get a mackintosh build out of my system , I have now a working system for my Dell 3542 with 10.13.6.

I'm quite pleased with the performance , but I want your opinion and help to get the most out of it. Need working dsdt and ssdt. 

 

Here is my specs:

CPU : Intel i3-4005u , 1.7ghz

GPU : Intel HD 4400

RAM : 8gb

Network : Broadcom BCM94352HMB

 

As I said , things working well but still have some issues :

 

1) Sleep works ok when selecting from menu , but when close and then reopen lid the system freezes and have to power down.

2) New version of macs video coverter pro (videoproc) shows no hevc acceleration. Also, quicktime player doesn't open hevc video files (just audio).

 

Apart from these , I want to make sure that video and power management works as they should. 

 

 

Here are my dump files https://mega.nz/#!Wd4EAIST!vDErHi1WvIKgf0N9otygE0RZwzVE_1nHvyCSIURRYuA

 

Thank you in advance.

Lid awake fixed !!!

Latest whatevergreen.kext includes all the graphics patches you referred to (FakePCIID + FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics). Isn't that right ?

 

Gave it a try and after a lot of reading I compiled dsdt and ssdt.

 

Uploaded new files.

 

Can you take a look?

Send me MacBook-Pro.zip

Issues still to resolve are :

 

1) Videoproc still shows no hevc acceleration. Also, quicktime player still doesn't open hevc video files (just audio).

 

2) How can I check if power management is working as it should?

You must remove all the wifi entries/patches from the config.plist.  AirportBrcmFixup.kext should do all the job.

Sorry but your suggestions did not work because my wifi card does not work.
I will try to replace it with an equal one and I'll tell you if it works.
Thank you!
