I have the exact same problem(s), can only boot from Unibeast and missing battery. Fresh install of Yosemite and then ran the Installer selecting the same checkboxes I would previously use. Thank you Philip for maintaining the old installer a little bit longer for those of us who haven't made...

Hey guys, I'm going to attempt this update soon and I had a few questions. I'm currently on a perfectly stable 10.7.3 install, thanks to blueking, donkey and others. Thanks for all the help back then. I wish to update to 10.7.4 and I'm wondering if when it comes to tegezee's step "use...

After taking the top cover off everything went pretty smoothly. I removed the hinges without too much trouble and even got them back on easy enough. The new screen is amazing, taking some getting used to. Everything is so crisp and colors really pop out of the screen, such a big difference. I...

So did you run into any problems? hinges? Top cover? What order did you do things in? I'm about to crack it open and looking for any advice before getting started! Can't wait to see the new screen!

I thought they needed to come off so you could run the new video cable through the hinge? Would be awesome if you could skip taking them off though. I'll try the method of taking the top cover off first and then trying to get a better grip on these things. Cable, LCD and anti-static band will...

Oh man lol there just always has to be a hard part! I'll keep trying but this small flat head is bending the nice pretty hinges and I'd like to avoid that.

So is it unavoidable to scratch and bend the hinge covers? The YouTube video shows the guy just prying and pulling and it's obvious he's not too worried about the laptop looking brand new afterwards. I've already bent / scratched them by just prying a very small amount with a tiny flat head...

Hi guys, I'm planning on doing this upgrade as well. Blueking provided me with a patched DSDT for my 4530s ( original LCD ) so that it would run properly on Snow Leopard ( The HP Installer version didn't work for some reason ) . Would anyone be able to patch, or show me how to patch, this DSDT...

Thanks! I'll do that as soon as I get home. DSDT has been sent! Thanks again for your help. UPDATE: Thanks a lot for your help! The DSDT you created worked perfectly. I was able to boot into 10.6.8 easily and then download Lion from the app store and follow your Lion Install instructions...

Just wanted to make an update, as I have now been able to try multiple dsdt files. I just discovered that the ONLY way I can boot into SL 10.6.8 without error is by using the DSDT located on this guy's website: http://computersclarified.blogspot.com/ ... on-hp.html I don't know what is so...

I just discovered that the ONLY way I can boot into SL 10.6.8 without error is by using the DSDT located on this guy's website: http://computersclarified.blogspot.com/ ... on-hp.html I don't know what is so special about this DSDT but the others I've tried ( Original HP Installer, a F20 DSDT...

Hi nowhinjing, I'm curious how did you get into OSX and replace the DSDT file? I'm having the same issue as you, I can only get into OSX with -x -v DSDT=no, but I can't replace my DSDT because in safe mode all USB drives are disabled... Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks for any help you can...

Hey guys, I'm experiencing this same issue. I've followed the Snow Leopard instructions word for word and when I go to boot from the HD for the first time I receive the same KP Error as the guy above. This happened AFTER installing 10.6.8 combo and then applying the HP Installer for my 4530s. I...

Ok, then that is what I will do. Thanks a lot for all the help you provide us, it is really appreciated.

Just bought a new 4530s as well! I'm reading all I can to figure this dual boot process out but I do have a few questions. I suppose it's inevitable that I will be forced to lose my windows 7 install that originally came on the laptop? It sounds like from the post above that the GParted...
