It's likely that you'll need a usb SSDT specifiic to your motherboard to make that header active.

The Wifi is working, Airdrop is working.

I did DSDT as well.

Might be bluetooth defective? I cant even get this card working under windows 10... lol

Hi!

I am bumping this thread as I own the FV-T919 card and the motherboard cable is very very junky. Of all four thin cables the red one has been disconnected from the connector that plugs into the card and I am forcing it in and then not move the cable at all to keep contact, but it's been doing some nonsense lately, alas the bluetooth devices disconnect alltogether, then I have to disconnect the header from the motherboard and connect it again in order for them to connect.

Does anyone know what type of connector this is so I can find one and replace it, OR where I can get a cable from? I ordered one from eBay and the connector for the card is larger maybe if I knew the connector type on the FV-T919 I cloud get an adaptor if I cannot find a new cable.

This is the one ordered but the connector is way larger:

The black is the original crappy cable and the white one is the one I ordered.

This one also seems larger than the one I have.

I contacted Fenvi yesterday. To my surprise they responded immediately (today) and they will ship me a new one from China for free. They actually rule!.

Hi, it's me again!

I have a hard time identifying whether the card I have (Fenvi T919) is a knockoff or not. This is the item listing I bought it from:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07W92MZGF/?tag=tonymacx86-21

The fact that it has MQUPIN in the title means it is a clone? Or is MQUPIN just a reseller?

The cable that connects to the USB connector of the motherboard has a different connector on the card side (a smaller one as I described on my previous answers to this topic).

Also, the Chipset in the item description is BCM94360CD but on system report I see 20702B0 (Actually I found out that the advertised chipset has to do with the WiFi part, not the bluetooth part. On System Report under Wi-Fi I see it is reported correctly as: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (7.77.106.3 AirPortDriverBrcmNIC-1435.3))

The card seems to be functioning perfectly when my MSR is locked and the equivalent flags on Clover (kernelPM) and OpenCore (AppleCpuPmCfgLock & AppleXcpmCfgLock) are true but once I set to false (having unlocked MSR on the motherboard), bluetooth is very junky and after a couple of minutes upon boot the devices disconnect.

I am not that super determined of getting it to work with unlocked MSR but I think it is worth investigating on whether the cause for this is maybe having a knock-off card.

@WizMeister

I'm using my Fenvi FV-T919 with MSR 0xE2 unlocked, KernelPM unchecked, and AppleIntelCPUPM also unchecked. No problems at all.

Try moving the card to a different PCIe slot.

By the way, 20702B2 refers to the firmware on the card, so no worries there.

Hi @CaseySJ and thank you for the response. Is the cable connector smaller like the one I'm showing here (the black one, the white one is from a replacement cable I ordered but it is too big for my card):

Also, although our motherboard differ, which slot do you have your card on? I have it on the last slot on the bottom (PCIEX1_3) .

Mine has that white one, and it's installed in the bottommost x1 PCIe slot.
