Thanks for the tip, I remember reading that while I was working on this build. I removed them at some point during all the installs, trials & reinstalls but I ended up leaving them because they're on the guide and I kind of forgot after that. I'll be removing them for good now. Regarding the...

Sure. My graphics driver seems to be working ok, although it's not perfect. I had f5 & f6 brightness control, but it broke at some point and now I'm using Brightness slider instead. You'll need to build a new SMBIOS since I redacted my own. I built mine following the instructions from this...

Thanks, man. This did the trick! Marking as solved.

Thank you so much, guys. It worked like a charm. My Hackbook is up and running.

Have you changed your BIOS settings? Post #1 has a link to the appropiate ones.

Hey, sorry for the delay and thanks for the advice. I'll be giving it another go in a few days.

Thank you. Updated. I'll upload the requested files asap.

Sorry, no luck with that.

So you can confirm that the trackpad works on Catalina? I'm battling to install Catalina on my 15z990. A few things are working but I can't get the trackpad to be recognized at all. I'm thinking of trying Mojave to see if the trackpad at least shows up. I'll upload my EFI when I get a decent...

It's ok, thanks for answering. At least I'll know what to do if I run into it again. I'm trying a different laptop, but if I can't get it done I might give the Asus another go now that I know the solution.

Thanks for the advice. I returned the laptop because I couldn't find any info on this issue and I was worried there might be some underlying defect. I'll keep your advice in mind if I ever run into it again.

Nice catch. Twice the graphics power would be the icing on the cake. But I can get a nice deal on the 15" and I probably should take it, I think it will meet my current needs until Apple adopts the 10th gen processors and the hackintoshing details are ironed out. They seem to be right around...

Thanks guys. That's a shame because they used to make these with removable wifi cards. https://es.ifixit.com/Gu%C3%ADa/LG+Gram+15-Inch+Repairability+Assessment/79142 The 15" does have dual m.2 slots, I believe it's just like the 17" in that regard. I'm reluctant to give up an m.2 slot because...

Hi, this is a great thread. I’m thinking of getting a Gram 15z990 with the i5 processor, but before pulling the trigger I’d like to ask you guys a couple of things: -Has anyone here swapped the internal wifi card for a compatible BCM94352Z? From what I’ve seen online the card should be...

Hi everyone, I've been running into an issue that I can’t resolve. When I reach the installer the apple logo remains like a ghost image and mouse clicks don’t work. I’ve been at it for a week and only once did I boot into the installer without the logo overlay, finally managing to install...

I booted my Catalina SSD with your EFI folder and got pretty much the same result, but not entirely. Mostly it boots into Catalina login with the ghost logo and mouse click not working as it did before (picture attached), but I did manage to log into Catalina once with mouse click...

Thanks a lot. I'll try is as soon as possible!

Hi guys, I've managed to build a few desktop hacks, mostly by following guides of succesfull builds on this forum. So I finally decided to plunge into hacking a laptop as it seemed like a great challenge, and boy have I hit a brick wall... I don't mind researching and learning on my own, but I...
