    Artefacts on HD3000 Sandy Bridge

    They do work during BIOS boot phase (I’m able to boot from a USB key). I’m just not sure where to start. Should I reinstall macOS from the key without HDD formatting? I’m just not so competent in terms of ioreg data... UPD the USB ports to the right (2.0) do work if booted from the key. Can’t...

    Artefacts on HD3000 Sandy Bridge

    I will post an update if I find something. But what about the USBs? It’s unusual that all ports don’t work now - I could get used to two non-working USB3 ports, but loosing all of them would be quite painful.

    Did that. USB wouldn't work. I found out though that the ports are able to charge devices (USB3.0 ports to the left side, too, I thought they are completely gone after installing OS X!). Touchpad freezes remain. Please don't tell me (as you have previously once) that I have a hardware problem :D

    Artefacts on HD3000 Sandy Bridge

    Somehow I've managed to boot the system - it boots and shuts down extremely slow now. I've put kexts back to /S/L/E (except for VoodooPS2Controller, I left it in /L/E). From the first look I noticed that battery status is no longer available and it's not possible to leave it in the status bar...

    This is where it stalls. Can’t boot even from the USB key. UPD: in safe mode the system just shows blank black screen.

    UPD: I’ve just moved kexts via terminal to L/E and rebuilded the cache. Verbose mode shows IGPU timeout. Will try again later.

    But what about FakeSMC? It should be always at S/L/E, right? The system wouldn’t start otherwise.

    Like all of third-party kexts? Kext utilities like Kext Wizard install them to S/L/E. I tried EC reset, multiple times - no luck, unfortunately.

    Did that, the system seems to run smoother now, but the problem with the freezing touchpad and sound is still at place. Only putting the laptop to sleep and waking it helps with touchpad freezes.

    Thank you for checking it out. So I got rid of this patch, re-extracted and re-patched DSDT again. Seems like it reduced artefacts significantly, but not completely. The most annoying issue left (apart from sound issue described in the first post) is touchpad freeze that happen at random. Taking...

    Sorry, I was not expecting you to reply that fast. :) By "touch pad going off" I mean freezes of touchpad after some time of its usage. I stil have no clue why this happens - I tried reinstalling VoodooPS2Controller, it doesn't seem to help (I'll attach the kext to the zip). Same with the...

    Setting Inject Intel=true reduces artefacts, but touchpad sill goes off with time. Sound goes off too.

    Is it correct that if Inject Intel=false, then snb-platform-id in Add Properties is useless?

    Sorry, I was sure it has been added to the zip.

    I forgot to mention that I also had a problem with sudden sound missing (during watching YouTube videos sound sometimes dissapears). I've just experienced this issue again. Usually it takes some time for sound to return functioning normally.
