    [Solved] Issues with upgrade to macOS Sierra on Dell XPS M1340

    It turns out that the problem was that the Apple default USB port injectors for the MacBookPro7,1 were also messing with the OHCI controller.

    [Solved] Issues with upgrade to macOS Sierra on Dell XPS M1340

    I upgraded to macOS High Sierra (10.13.6). That fixed the problem with the DVD-RW drive. It is now recognized by the SATA Controller as "TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-D633A" and works with the DVD Player. I still have the problems with Bluetooth and USB described above. Please help.
