[FAQ] READ FIRST! Laptop Frequent Questions

hi,
i would like to understand how to know if my laptop can work with supported wifi card like BCM94352 or not ?
because in the officiel manual said that
HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 j067cl WLAN module supported:
Atheros AR9485
Mediatek MT7630E
Ralink RT3290LE
Realtek RTL8188EE (installed on my machine but not compatible)
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 Combo
is that mean it will work only with these cards (whitelist)
or how?

Your laptop has a guide:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-hp-envy-haswell-series-j-k-q-n-using-clover-uefi.261724/
 
Ive a Clevo n240wu, with i5-8250u (intel 620HD) (Kaby-Lake Refresh) and after installing macOS Mojave I had no sound, keyboard, touchpad, ethernet and wifi...
I manage to fix everything except the wif because the chip is Intel Wireless AC 8265 and I did not find a solution for that.

However, my problem is that the screen brightness is killing my eyes.

Ive tried to install AppleBacklightFixup.kext without success since I don't see any widget to change the brightness and the keyboard keys for it don't work either...

Ive typed the commands below
Code:
# Install Lilu.kext
# https://github.com/acidanthera/Lilu
sudo cp -R /Users/XPTO/Downloads/1.2.8.RELEASE/Lilu.kext /Library/Extensions

# https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-laptop-backlight-control-using-applebacklightfixup-kext.218222/

# Install AppleBacklightFixup.kext
# https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/applebacklightfixup
sudo cp -R /Users/XPTO/Downloads/RehabMan-BacklightFixup-2018-1013/Release/AppleBacklightFixup.kext /Library/Extensions

# Copy file fo EFI / Clover
sudo cp /Users/XPTO/Downloads/RehabMan-BacklightFixup-2018-1013/SSDT-PNLF.aml /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/

# Rebuild cache and reboot
sudo kextcache -i /
sudo shutdown -r now

Is there a way to get the brightness control working for my laptop?

Thanks in advance

Hint: This is not a troubleshooting thread. And you failed to attach any problem reporting files.

Also: Your profile has no laptop hardware details. Please fix as per FAQ.
 
I've a desktop and a laptop. Since I installed the desktop last year my profile has that hardware details.
I will do my best to fix the post and post it in the other thread.
Thanks

I install Mojave OS. Tks

Off-topic. This is not a troubleshooting thread.
Open a separate thread.
 
hackintosh Mojave on DELL Inspiron 7560
What does not work :
-sleep / wake, when I close the note, the display goes off, but the fan is still on. The cooler only turns on when it turns on the power.

- Mapping brightness keys on the startup screen work with the native brightness keys, but when I'm on the mac system, this does not work.

-Audio on the 3.5mm headset does not work.

How to solve?

Configuration:
DELL Inpiron 7560
Intel Core I5 7200U
8 GB RAM 2133
120 GB SSD
1 TB HD
Geforce 940MX (but does not work on mac: /)
 
Any FAQ or good place to start getting fan control info?
