[FIX] HD4200/HD4400/HD4600/HD5600 on 10.11+

You should check to see if you have an IMEI device.
You can use 'lspci -nn' in Linux Terminal to see all PCIe devices.
you're right .I have no IMEI device. I fixed board ,so I give up.
thank you very much ,RehabMan

Yes... IMEI is required... and you cannot expect to run macOS/OS X if you have non-existing IMEI (eg. broken hardware setup).
 
You should try to reflash latest BIOS from Dell.
Make sure your CPU is not ES/QS (they do not have IMEI).

I believe that the ES/QS chips are factory samples. I've came across a lot of these on eBay. Am I correct in saying? I'm also guessing that having ES/QS chips don't allow the MEI controller to load.

It seems that most ES/QS chips do not have IMEI.

Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting"

It is probably due to incorrectly implemented or not implemented HDMI-audio.

Hi dear RehabMan and everybody!!
Good news1
Today user vit9696 released a new anti-freeze solution Safari for hd4400 hd4600. For this you need to download two kexts.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/intelgraphicsfixup/
https://github.com/vit9696/Lilu/releases

But that's not all good news he also solved the problem with broken trailers and videos in itunes. For this you just download this kext
https://github.com/vit9696/Shiki/releases

all the kexts I downloaded in the folder /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.12/
for mavericks this /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.9
Im tested on Mavericks 10.9.5 and Sierra 10.12.3 its work for me, vit9696 suggests that this solution help absolutely everyone!!

ps RehabMan This patch works with VoodooHDA.kext

Sierra 10.12.5 here, Intel HD 4400. Playback freeze is fixed! Now I can enjoy picture-in-picture videos as well. Thank you!!
 
Is this method still valid for High Sierra for HD 4400? Thx
 
yes is still work

Thanks. Got it to work.

The only difference for me is that the Legacy/CMS mode must be enabled in BIOS (which wasn't necessary in my case before High Sierra) to avoid the garbled login screen after boot (which can also be fixed by closing the lid and opening it again after every boot if the Legacy/CMS mode is not enabled). After that no issues with either approach.

So choice seems to be between doing that open/close of lid after every boot or getting that retro VGA startup interface till end of boot. :0

Unless there is some other fix I am not aware of.
