Hi @CaseySJ / All, since I deleted bluetooth.plist and which got recreated on startup, the issue (BT getting disabled, greyed out icon in menu bar) didn't occur so far. It is 3+ days now, whereas it was a daily/random problem. So conclusion am making is - it was not a hardware (BT Card) fault...

No, doesn't seem and this is not antenna issue, 3 years no problem, same location, same box (one side glass panel), only HDMI cable in the back, very clean. Interestingly I don't even update the s/w (there is a sec.patch 2022-005 for Catalina ver. 10.15.7, which I never applied in last 2 years...

So I was too quick to be happy on the BT card change - it is still happening :( - with the new card as well. @CaseySJ - any idea what can cause it (BT getting disabled randomly)?

Thanks @CaseySJ - Not sure if symptom has gone forever or come back with the new Fenvi-T-919 but for now I have put the new card in. - Both my BT Keyboard(Logitech) and Apple Mouse 2 were not recognized; - So connected one wired keyboard, and a USB-dongle-mouse; - Start/Restart and then logged...

Bluetooth getting disabled is random. Sometimes I see it disabled, so I shutdown the desktop and then start again, bluetooth works fine (apple mouse 2 and logitech w/l keyboard). But again after 1, 4 or random hours it will turn disabled. Sometimes it works fine for a day even. So I believe the...

#1 No. It is still Catalina 10.15.7 #2 No #3 Below is from config.plist on my personal backup disk which must be on the EFI partition as well

Hi @CaseySJ/All here... 3 years and this build is still running fine for me except... Bluetooth goes off sometimes. (The icon is there but disabled. if I restart the m/c, it starts working again for random hours.) This started a month back. I have new FENVI T919 with me. Not sure, but I don't...

Hi @CaseySJ - any plan for a new intel based build in 2023? I have same build as yours Z490D-w/i9-10th/RX580, but it seems slow a bit now. It works perfectly, no issues (thanks to you), just thinking if you have a plan for a new build. Also thinking if it costs around 2k then is mac-mini-m1/2 worth.

@CaseySJ - Good news :) - my issue got solved - on not booting post login... I took all my data out (using NVME-2-USB adapter), and today thought let me format that NVME SSD and install OS again, since I already have the old USB from Oct/2020. So I started with step 6 (and good that by this...

Thanks... see attached

Tried didn't do anything different. Thanks for the help, now that I have my data out, I will rather format and re-do installation instead of more debug. It would have been nice though to fix this, as I see the Catalina SDD is all fine when used via a USB adapter, it did asked me for admin/pwd...

Thanks @CaseySJ - went with option 2 - I got a similar M.2/NVME-2-USB adapter, and got all my remaining data out from Catalina NVME-SSD - so all good on personal data part. Thanks for your input/help, and sorry for killing your time on this :) - just a silly mistake on my side. So now I can...

Failed trial so far: 1. Removed all SSD except CATALINA - doesn't work (A) 2. Tried 2nd M.2 slot (for Catalina NVME SSD) - doesn't work (A) 3. Used USB to boot, recover OS - doesn't work - (B) A == login screen shows as as usual like it used to, put password... nothing (see screenshot) B == Mac...

1. Yes 2. Nothing, password is accepted (as it doesn't complain for wrong password), but then nothing happens on that screen, no progress bar or next screen 3. No, within Catalina sdd 4. Total 3 === #1 Catalina (Crucial NVME SSD 240 gb) with home folder then #2 is another 250gb SATA SSD used...

Yes tried, USB boot, press tab, click on recovery, apple logo comes up... but then nothing, apple logo stays live for-ever. Let me know please, what else I can try.

Hi @CaseySJ - on this build which am using since Oct/2020, I accidently removed the SSD (Crucial NVMe which I configured as CATALINA), so GIGABYTE ADV screen showed up. When I realized my mistake, I exited without save, switch off, put SSD back, and booted - but now it goes till asking for...

So you are saying: For 'Install MAC OS updates' - careful, have bootable usb ready/updated before applying any OS update For 'Install system data files and security updates' - it is ok to apply it, when update is available

Hi @CaseySJ, Friends... everything is fine with my setup... but my mind is sleeping, so let me ask this silly question: Am on Catalina 10.15.7 since I built my hackintosh - can I apply security update from apple or not (there is a security update for 10.15.7 and keeps asking me to update'? If...

Hi @CaseySJ - Thanks a ton man, last week ordered what we can get right now, and it is working though I haven't tested everything like a-z but happy enough, followed your guide/steps which is excellent: So I have same setup as yours: Motherboard :- Gigabyte Z490 Vision-D CPU :- i5-10400...
