My HackBook pro (HP ProBook 4540s) was working flawlessly since Nov 27, 2013 when I bought the hardware. All of the sudden, on Dec 28, 2013, my HackBook Pro would no longer boot. Instead, the CAPS LOCK key would flash continuously (there was no obvious pattern to the flashing LEDs) and there...

i got so frustrated with this issue, i ended up buying a $7.99 app to fix the problem. It's called Webcam Settings and using the backlight compensation settings i was able to totally fix my HackBook Pro's cam perfectly. FaceTime and Photo Booth are back in action. Webcam Settings...

You are using that AR5BHB92 (AR9280) in your HP ProBook 4540s?

Hi everyone, I would like to take a poll on what choice of Wireless adaptor you all are using of your HP Probooks 4x40s series laptops. I am using a Dlink DWA-171 USB Wireless adaptor. I forced the installation of the drivers from Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on 10.9 Mavericks, and it works...

You probably want to find that thumb drive. Failing that.... Find a friend who has a Mac and rebuild your thumb drive on his Mac. If you can boot from the thumb drive, you might have a chance to fix the loop booting problem if you can get access to the boot loader, which you can...

Yes, that is what I thought. In order to run Chameleon to fix this, is it simply a matter of running HP ProBook installer 6.1.10 and select Chameleon: r2266 and rebooting? EDIT: YUP. answered my own question. Big Ups to all the moderators and folks helping out on this project.:thumbup:

My HP ProBook 4540s is now known as my HackBook Pro running Mac OS X Mavericks. It's great! I have close to 100% hardware compatibility and I have a Dlink DWA-171 USB AC WIFI Adaptor for Wireless connectivity. I have a generic dual booting question and I apologize if it has been asked...

I just wanted to share that I went out and bought this DWA-171 on the strength of this post! Glad I did. I am running 10.9 Mavericks, and I was not able to install the 10.8 driver you pointed me to, well not the usual way anyway. I had to download Pacifist 3.0.8 and forced it to be...

I reset to defaults, disabled WAKE ON LAN and made sure others called out in guide were set properly. Yes, thank you kindly. I am finally in the installer and about to go! Thanks so much for your help

I've been following this guide: Guide to Installing Mavericks on HP Probook No matter what boot flags I use, the result is the same: The system boots but never reaches the Mac Installer. The system flashes a white/grey screen and reboots. Tried these boot options: -x -v PCIRootUID=0...

EDITED to repost in new thread

HP ProBook 4540s Boot Problem: Flash + Reboot I am jumping back into the hackintosh community again! My name is AlienWarrior75 and I've had some experience hacking my old Dell Mini 10v with Mac OS X 10.6.7. It's been stable since early 2009 and it's been in my garage ever since. I've got it...
